Julia is an archivist, visual artist, researcher and educator focused on preserving art and cultural heritage, with expertise in time-based media and dance. Her approach centers on supporting artists in presenting their work in contexts that retain their autonomy and intent, while bridging institutional frameworks with the realities of creative practice mediated by digital tools.
Drawing on tools and methods from the field of digital humanities, her practice blends creative and archival work. Her research has recently explored the impact of climate disasters on artists and cultural memory through the loss of art, cultural spaces, and art practices. She is committed to making preservation more sustainable, accessible, and artist-centered.
Julia holds a BFA in Visual & Critical Studies from the School of Visual Arts, NY (2016), and a Master of Library and Information Science degree with a Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities from UCLA (2025). She currently leads metadata project-based work at UCLA’s Library Special Collections.
