ABOUT
Julie Sundberg is a Sydney-based photographic artist, with an academic background in art history and literature. Julie has decades of experience in education, stills photography, arts management and community work with a longstanding interest in social justice and storytelling. Her professional life has seen her work with vulnerable people and communities: inmates, the unemployed, the homeless and others relegated to the margins of society. Insight into the human condition takes visual shape in a broad art practice. Julie has concentrated on long-term projects related to time, memory and gender for many years. Empathy for those on the margins runs through Julie’s art practice and in her most recent work it is directed toward the landscape itself.
Julie regularly exhibits her work, and has been a finalist in Australia’s most prestigious photography prizes including HeadOn Portrait Prize, the Moran Photographic Prize, the Olive Cotton Award, the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Award, the National Photographic Portrait Prize, the CLIP Award, the Ravenswood Women's Art Prize and the Iris Award.
Julie’s work has been published in Black and White Magazine, Doingbird, Looking Glass Zine and FotoNostrum Magazine. Her work is held at HOTA and in private collections in Australia and internationally.
