More about the artist:

Sodré is a Brazilian artist and writer based in Portland, Oregon. Her work is confessional and investigates her interpersonal relationships. Sodré obsessively probes her identity as a chronically lonely individual as she attempts to comprehend what it means to perpetually mourn the wasted potential for human connection.

In the past couple of years, Sodré has focused on how intergenerational trauma is permeated by culture and religion while also exploring the contemporary individual’s compulsion to confess. Within this range of ideas, the artist explores how to best navigate the fine line between privacy and self-censorship. Such subjects have been explored through multiple media, including video, cyanotype, collage, papermaking, and web-based projects.

Júlia Sodré holds a BA in Visual Arts from the University of Brasília and an MFA in Contemporary Art from Portland State University.
