Júlia Sodré is a Brazilian artist and curator based in Washington, D.C. Her work is confessional, investigating her identity as a chronically lonely individual and what it means to perpetually mourn the wasted potential for human connection.

 

In the past few years, her practice has focused on how intergenerational trauma is permeated by culture and religion while also exploring the contemporary individual’s compulsion to confess. Within this range of ideas, the artist explores how to navigate the lines between privacy and self-censorship, memory and fiction. These themes have been explored through multiple media, including video, cyanotype, collage, paper-making, and web-based projects. 

Júlia Sodré is a Graduate Student at the Department of Art History and Archeology at the University of Maryland. She holds a BA in Visual Arts from the University of Brasília and an MFA in Contemporary Art from Portland State University
