Julia Abraham is a practising artist, researcher and curator. Working as an interdisciplinary artist, Julia's practice primarily includes painting, performance and video. Current academic research focuses on challenging canonical art histories in favour of conceptualising revisionist accounts, through analyses of exhibition cultures of display and racial and sexual differences that are represented individually and collectively in twentieth and twentyfirst-century visual cultures. 

Julia's formal education consists of a Masters of Philosophy Doctoral Research degree from the University of Birmingham, UK. The thesis is titled, 'Spaces, Publics and Strategies of Critique: Mapping the Exhibition Cultures of the BLK Art Group'. The MPhil is funded by the Doctoral scholarship, the Raymond Priestly Award for higher research. 

She holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree with High Distinction from the University of Toronto in Visual Studies and Fine Art History, as well as studied at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, specialising in time-based media and contemporary art theory.

Recent curatorial work is the co-curated exhibition at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts titled, Print Power: The body, religion and social change in Twentieth-Century works on paper, including works by Pablo Picasso, Käthe Kollwitz, Max Ernst, Joan Miro and Henri Matisse. The exhibition runs from June to August 2010.
