Julia Martos is an audiovisual artist and researcher based in Bilbao. Interested in the politics of archive material, its potential for narrative and exhibitions, and thanks to a grant for Museum Management and Exhibition Curation from the Botín Foundation, she completed her training in Film Programming and Curating at Birkbeck, University of London in 2021. This sparked her interest in the speculative potential of archives in feminist historiography, the focus of the thesis she’s developing on feminist reinscription in the reassembly of family film footage in Spanish documentaries (UC3M). Currently coordinating the Cine_Ilegal project at Bulegoa z/b, as well as the Zine de Barrio project at Sarean (Bilbao), she’s created programmes for Azkuna Zentroa: Espigar, conservar, futurizar (2024), Luzatu/Gau Irekia: Una ventana con vistas (2023), Bulegoa z/b: Proyectar luz, trabajar con archivos fílmicos (2023), Bilbaoarte Foundation: Archivos vivos (2021), Essay Film Festival London (2021), CCA Glasgow (2018) and the Jornadas de Creación Colectiva Audiovisual Swap Footage, Universitàt Politècnica de València & La Filmoteca (2014-2018).
