Julia Makojnik (b. 1993, Gdansk, Poland)


I’m a multidisciplinary artist, educator and curator working in Greater Manchester. My studio is currently based at Rogue Artists’ Studios

I work across a variety of formats including photography, drawing, bookbinding, risograph printing and writing.
I am also interested in the relationship between art and clothing, from practicalities to self expression; in an effort to minimise environmental impact and divest from unethical fashion production practices, I design and make one-off garments and accessories from scrap fabric and thrifted or waste materials. Most of these items are made to measure and not for sale, but I occasionally list hand-made test pieces on my shop page.

Since 2018 I have been a Technical Demonstrator in Art and Design at the University of Salford. 

Since 2024 I’ve been a programmer at Braziers International Film Festival. My previous freelance curatorial projects include a Lead Associate role at Pavement Gallery, Curator at GNCCF and Curator and Producer at PROFORMA. In 2022 I worked as a Curator at Holden Gallery until the building’s closure for refurbishment. See my CV for a full list of projects and publications I’ve worked on in these roles.

I am currently open to curatorial or programming projects and running creative courses or workshops. Please get in touch if you have something in mind.
