Julieta Gil : ¿Quién mira a quienes miran?

Julieta Gil (b.1987) is a Mexican artist whose work explores relationships between memory, materiality, and public space. Her recent interest focuses on documenting sites where imposed narratives confront collective forms of telling and remembering. Through a wide range of media such as video, installation, 3D simulation, performance, and sculpture, Gil transports physical space into the digital realm and vice versa. During this process, she develops methodologies that record her bodily interaction with both environments. Gil creates new forms of archive or mediums of memory that visualize fiction as a primary agent and tool for social transformation.

In 2020, Gil received the Lumen Prize for Art and Technology for her project “Nuestra Victoria”, envisioned as a response to government censorship around a prominent Mexico City monument which served as a site of protest and intervention by feminist groups. Gil has exhibited at Nevada Museum of Art, Palm Spring Art Museum, SCAD Museum of Art, Storefront for Art and Architecture, Museo Tamayo, Laboratorio de arte Alameda, Centro de Cultura Digital, among other institutions. She has been a lecturer for UCLA´s Media Arts program and Art & Tech Visiting Professor within the Department of Art at the University of Oregon.
