júlia casamitjana
Júlia Casamitjana (b. 1993, Barcelona, Spain) is a researcher and storyteller. Throughout her education as an architect and urban planner in Paris, she has always been animated by a central question: how does one live somewhere.
She explores the rural realm in order to collect stories of places, peasants and artisans whose sensible and elegant approaches to nature can renew our cleaved relations to it, driven by domination and destruction or, on the contrary, idealization of nature.
She is attached to narrate what escapes from our attention, those practices which reveal feelings of reciprocity and respect, crucial to rethink our political systems and inventing new, sustainable possibilities of being together.
Júlia’s approach is multifaceted, at the intersection of art and anthropology. By writing, creating and knitting collaborations, she seeks to enhance those forgotten know-hows which take root in intimacy and wilderness.
