Biography

Juliana Huxtable's multidisciplinary practice is dedicated to the complex interrelationship of race, identity, queerness and gender. From performance art to digital collage to self-portraiture to DJing to writing, the artist erases distinctions between the mediums, turning her practice into a vibrant and saturated space of multicolour and political and LGBTQ+ activism. Such distinctions may be taken to be analogous to those of contemporary societal norms, which Huxtable fiercely scrutinises, showing hope for an alternative, more fluid reality. Huxtable places her own physical body and history of her transition in the works that reveal sexism of video games, accentuate alienation of the concept of "boyhood", and trace connections between colonialism and homophobia. Her practice is at once personal and public, contemporary and historical, critical and reassuring.
