. JuliART is a Intersectional visual artivist, Performance artist, Queer black woman, a mother, and most Importantly a human being. She uses her art to shed light and speak on day to day issues around the Naked human body and using it as a tool to combat stigmas around gender , identity, violence and sex. Many of her digitally created photographs are surreal and thought provoking as they are layered with movement and emotion that give the Artworks an exploratory three dimensional space, her performances are thought provoking and are manifestations of her inner being , expressed solely for healing purposes, healing the Artist and the Audience, using her body and that of any one else who she photographs as a weapon against patriarchy.
I think of all the artworks i create as souls, individual spirits born within the moment of creation and synchronisity, each being pregnant with their own potential, giving birth to new, improved versions of themselves. Healing the viewer , Celebrating the human experience , and creating future worlds.
"Sexuality is self-determination. Yet, the free expression of sexuality in all its facets, even in a society that defines itself as liberal, is not necessarily reality. "
