Julia E. Katz is a queer mom, artist, and facilitator based in West Philadephia. She facilitates cohorts and communities of practice in civic, educational, and creative spaces with librarians, artists, organizers, and fellow parents. This work, and her experience of love and community throughout the pandemic inform her art. She is a contributor to the Artist Grief Deck, a Leeway Art and Change grantee, and has collaborated with Educators for Consent Culture, Shut Down Berks, and SpiralQ among many others. She has exhibited most recently at The Painted Bride, Vox Populi Gallery, and the Da Vinci Art Alliance. Julia hopes that people who engage with her artistic practice will better understand the systems impacting them and feel agency to build a tangible vision for our collective and liberatory future.
