‘At once personal and detached, intimate but distancing, Julia Dogra-Brazell’s work casts a spell all of its own.’
Helen DeWitt ‘Up in the Air and Down on the Earth’ Programme Notes

Julia Dogra-Brazell is an artist and filmmaker working with film, video, sound and the still image in the context of experimental narrative. She studied literature at London and Cambridge Universities and, by the late nineties, shifted an acquired interest in storytelling, poetry, history and memory to the context of visual culture. Common to all Dogra-Brazell’s works, irrespective of medium, is the idea of art as a prime means of resistance to habitual modes of analysis.

Her films have been included in festivals and media programmes at institutions such as Internationale Kurtzfilmtage Oberhausen, McEvoy Foundation for the Arts in San Francisco, BFI London Film Festival, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Uplink Shibuya Tokyo and the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. She has received awards and funding from public bodies in the UK and abroad, including the British Council, Jerwood Foundation, British Academy, Arts Council England, The Memphis Trust, MOFA Japan and New Mexico Humanities Council.
