JULIA SCHMITZ
Julia Schmitz (1993) is a filmmaker with a great fascination for the process of imaging and the construction of stories. In her associative films, she often explores complex subjects, such as sexual pleasure, with a light-hearted and somewhat mischievous approach. This gives the work depth without heaviness, with humor and poetry playing together within daring image and sound montages. With an essayistic style, she reflects on both the personal and the political within the act of representation.
Julia studied at the Royal Academy of Art (The Hague) where she experimented with film installations. She deepened her practice at the Master Visual Anthropology at Goldsmiths University (London). She is currently doing research into feminist approaches towards male sexuality, the penis and the phallic symbol.

MIGUEL PARRRRA
Miguel Parrrra is a designer turned writer born in Lorca (Southeast Spain) in 1990. He holds a MS in Architecture and a MA in Contextual Design from which he graduated cum laude with a project called ‘Last Dinner in History’. Parrrra’s practice involves the study of cultural texts with the ambition of disrupting hegemonic narratives. With a sensibility for queer tropes, his work is primarily materialised through writing and theatre-making.
Miguel is also one half of design-critique-turned-design-comedy duo The Ironing Board. Together with other half Marta Ríos, they explore methodologies to play around contemporary notions on how the performance of design should be. Their practice deals with current understandings of authorship, public representation and institutional critique.
