Julia Isídrez
(Paraguay, 1967)
Julia Isídrez (Paraguay, 1967) learned to work with clay from her mother, Juana Marta Rodas (1925-2013). Both mother and daughter honor a centuries-old tradition that traces back to pre-Columbian times in Paraguay, following the techniques of their Guarani ancestors. Her work is done in collaboration with family members and partners who work alongside the artist at Casa Museo Arte, where she teaches and creates her pieces. Her work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions at institutions such as the 60th Venice Biennale, the Museo del Barro, the 2nd Mercosur Biennale, the Santiago Triennale, and dOCUMENTA 13. Her works are in the Fondation Cartier Pour l'Art Contemporain, the Denver Art Museum, and the Museo del Barro collections. She lives in Itá, Paraguay.
