Zara Julius (b. 1992) is a transdisciplinary artist and creative researcher based in Johannesburg. She works primarily with sound and multimedia installation, print, and social practice; often collaborating with musicians, cultural workers and educators. Her practice is informed by her working methodology of “rapture”; asking how we might take seriously Black cultural innovation, fugitivity and performativity as sites of possibility in contexts of enduring extractivist logics. Her work involves the collection, selection, and creation of (contested) archives — real, imagined and embodied — through extensive research.
