Julieta María (Colombia/Canada) is an artist, performer, and filmmaker of Colombian and Palestinian descent. Her work experiments with the body, poetic gesture, and storytelling to mine the tensions between inhabiting and observing landscapes and the hidden traces of history embedded in place. She received a BSc in Computer Engineering from Universidad del Norte (1994) and undertook postgraduate studies in Literature at Universidad del Atlántico (1997). She went on to receive a BFA Honours in Visual Arts (2004) and an MFA in Visual Arts (2010) from York University. Her films, artworks, and performances have been exhibited at galleries, festivals, and museums around the world, including Museo Banco de la República, Queens Museum, Hamburg International Short Film Festival, Salvador Allende Festival for Peace, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Images Festival, Gardiner Museum, Pleasure Dome, the Hemispheric Institute of Performance & Politics, and the Edinburgh International Film Festival, among others. She was a founding member and Director of e_fagia (2004–2011), a Toronto-based organization encouraging reflection on new media and digital art within the Latin American and diasporic communities. She has presented workshops, lectures, and curatorial projects at Museo de Arte Moderno de Barranquilla, Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo, La Cúpula Galería de Arte | Media Lab, Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto, Bandung Center for New Media Arts, and A Space Gallery. She lives and works in Toronto.
