Joy does not exist without pain. Life does not exist without death. Dark does not exist without light. We live in a time where holding nuance, contradiction, and multiple truths is increasingly challenging and vital to our collective imagination and survival. Are you interested in expanding beyond binaries, and either/or thinking in order to hold the complexity of feelings and experiences we are living through? Through papercutting, poetry, and collage we will utilize negative and positive space to explore the coexistence and interdependence of joy and grief, opposite extremes, and everything in-between.
Julia E. Katz is a West Philadelphia-based visual artist, facilitator, and mom. Her papercutting, collage, and printmaking work explore the liminal space between what is and what will be, telling stories and amplifying individual and universal experiences of connection, healing, grief, pleasure, and rest. Julia facilitates cohorts and communities of practice in civic, educational, and family spaces with librarians, artists, organizers, and fellow queer parents. This work, and her experience of community throughout the pandemic inform her art. She has exhibited most recently at The Painted Bride, Vox Populi Gallery, and the Da Vinci Art Alliance.
