Autores Julia Heslop

Julia Heslop is an artist based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK working in installation, painting, printmaking and video. Her work often takes as its subject land. She is interested in the many facets of this – access to land, ownership of land, attachments to land, the history of land and the ecology of land. She uses her work to ask questions about the ecological impacts of development, land and property ownership, housing precarity, urban planning and local democracy. She often works in participatory, slow ways with groups and communities on long-term projects over many years.

She has a BA in Fine Art from the Glasgow School of Art, a Master of Fine Art from Newcastle University and a PhD in Human Geography at Durham University. She is currently a Newcastle University Academic Track (NUAcT) fellow in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape.

She is a trustee of The NewBridge Project and co-founder of the co-operative Dwellbeing Shieldfield.
