My artist dossier is now published on Documents d’artistes PACA, the regional platform dedicated to documenting and sharing the work of contemporary visual artists.
My work is featured in THE PHOTOGRAPHER #1 — Families, a new bilingual (FR/EN) publication by éditions The Drawer dedicated to contemporary photography, released in November 2025 and launched at Paris Photo.
I participated in the Rotterdam Photo Talks panel Can Photography Rebuild Connection in a Divided World?, sharing reflections on how photography can create dialogue and connection in times of social and political fragmentation.
Mare Internum was featured in Marie Claire Korea, highlighting the project’s intimate exploration of the Mediterranean as a space of memory, circulation, and belonging, and its poetic approach to weaving personal narratives with broader cultural landscapes.
Here’s a short quote extracted and adapted from the text:
“Julia Gat has captured, as she knows so well how to do, familiar and often youthful portraits: light moments of laughter, a jump, an escape, a strand of hair being wrung out, but also lost gazes toward the open sea, toward this Mediterranean, Mare Internum, where everyone, according to their own story, can project themselves.”

I participated in Tracing Family Memories: Beyond the Album during the Arles Books Fair 2025, discussing my project Khamsa Khamsa Khamsa and the ways family archives and photographic narratives can extend beyond the traditional album.
