Nina Hoechtl is a visual artist, researcher, curator and teacher. Based in UNAM’s Center of Gender Research and Studies (CIEG), Hoechtl conceives and practice research as a transdisciplinary endeavor combining artistic, archival and analytical practices with the study of visual arts, in particular visual culture, and queer, post- and de(s)colon/ial/izing feminist theories and practices. In 2013 Hoechtl received a PhD from Goldsmiths University of London (EN). Then, she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Aesthetic Research (IIE), UNAM.
