Zara Julius is a transdisciplinary artist based in Johannesburg. Her work is primarily with print, sound and multimedia installation, and social practice, often in collaboration with musicians, cultural workers, and educators. Her practice is informed by her methodology of “rapture,” asking how Black cultural innovation, fugitivity, and performativity can be taken seriously as sites of possibility within enduring extractivist logics. Through extensive research, she collects, selects, and creates contested archives: real, imagined, and embodied. She is particularly engaged with the archive, the death–life matrix, and the internal workings of the Black sonic, exploring how they might reconstitute time, memory, and history amid unfreedom and landlessness.
