Julia Orquera Bianco works through interrogating constructs from Modern Western Culture, collective  memory, and the experience of migration, through the lens of a guest on the Land she inhabits. 

Her work reflects on the changing nature of identity and belonging and their entanglement with  the past, the present, and the place. She uses her family legacy  of labor, craft, music, and  storytelling as strategies to build knowledge and understanding of self, others, and place,  experiencing while remembering.
