Hi there. I'm Teréz Iacovino, but you can call me T. I'm an artist, curator, and educator, who now serves as the director of the Katherine E. Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota. My practice is continually shaped by the artists I work with, the students I mentor, and my experience as a Latina and first-generation graduate working in academia. My curatorial work has been supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation, and the Harlan Boss Foundation for the Arts, among others. Recent publications include “Unpacking the Portmanteau: Locating Diasporican Art” as part of Nuyorican and Diasporican Visual Art: A Critical Anthology (Duke University Press, 2025) and Vaiven: 21st-Century Art of Puerto Rico and Its Diaspora (University of Minnesota Press, 2025), coedited with José López Serra, director of Hidrante. Find more of my writing about artists in the Latinx Project's Intervenxions and at MPLSART.com.
