FERNANDEZ FERNANDEZ

I am an interdisciplinary researcher and creative practitioner whose trajectory interweaves the humanities, social sciences, and sound-based artistic practice. Holding a PhD in History from the University of Oviedo, my research spans archaeology, cultural heritage, ecomuseology, and the environmental humanities. Since 2021, I have been a Ramón y Cajal Research Fellow at the University of Oviedo, and I collaborate as an Honorary Research Associate at University College London (UCL) and as a lecturer at the National University of Distance Education (UNED). Since 2012, I have directed La Ponte – Research Centre and Ecomuseum in Asturias, a space awarded the Hispania Nostra Prize for Best Practices in Cultural Heritage. There, I lead projects that integrate academic research, community engagement, and artistic creation. My sound-based artistic practice bridges vernacular traditions and contemporary experimentation, drawing on popular sonic expressions to explore their resonance within current musical and creative contexts.
