Dr Analays Alvarez Hernandez

Postdoctoral Fellow
University of Toronto
Participates in 1 Session
Détentrice d’un baccalauréat en histoire de l’art (2005) de l’Université de La Havane, ainsi que d’un doctorat en histoire de l’art (2015) de l’Université du Québec à Montréal, Analays Alvarez Hernandez s’intéresse aux cultures diasporiques, aux sociétés post-colonialistes de même qu’à la commémoration. De façon plus ciblée, ses recherches portent sur la culture matérielle dans les espaces publics canadiens et français, avec un intérêt marqué pour les rapports entre le monument commémoratif et les communautés ethnoculturelles. En tant que commissaire indépendante, elle a organisé plusieurs expositions depuis 2003 à Montréal et à La Havane. Alvarez Hernandez a notamment occupé les postes d’assistante à la conservation au Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana et, plus récemment, de responsable des collections et de la programmation culturelle à L’Artothèque, organisme où elle siège sur le conseil d’administration. À l’heure actuelle, elle est chercheuse postdoctorale  affiliée à l’Université de Toronto (FRQ-SC 2015-2017). 

Dr. Alvarez Hernandez is currently a postdoctoral fellow affiliated with the Department of Art of the University of Toronto. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Art History in 2005 (University of Havana, Cuba), a masters’ degree in Art Studies in 2010 (UQAM, Canada) and a doctorate in Art History in 2015 (UQAM, Canada). Her main areas of research interest are commemorative public art, post-colonial and multicultural societies, immigration heritages, digital humanities, and curatorial studies. Her current research highlights questions and issues raised by the presence, in public spaces, of material culture shaped or produced by immigrant groups within Canadian and French contexts, with a special focus on monuments and memorials. Additionally, her other interests include contemporary Cuban art and Latin American art. As an independent curator, she has organized various exhibitions since 2003, presented papers at national and international conferences in Canada, Mexico, Germany, Argentina, France, Poland, Cuba, etc., and her writings have been published in books, journals and exhibition catalogues. She has also held curatorial positions in the past (National Museum of Fine Arts of Havana, 2005-2006; L’Artothèque of Montreal, 2014-2015).
