Judit Hersko is an installation artist who works in the intersection of art and science. She collaborates with scientists on visualizing climate change science through art and narrative. In 2008 she spent six weeks in Antarctica as the recipient of the National Science Foundation Antarctic Artists and Writers Grant and in 2025, she participated in the Arctic Circle Artist and Scientist Residency Program that took place onboard a ship in the Arctic. Hersko’s work is rooted in extensive research as well as in a playful exploration of materials and phenomena of light, shadow, and transparency. Her current practice involves story telling through performances that incorporate the objects she creates. She explores the unseen labor of microorganisms in the ecological chain as well as the unrecognized contributions of women in the history of science. She is ever more curious about the cultural myths we live by. Hersko has presented, published and exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Venice Biennale where she represented her native Hungary in 1997.
