Juline Hadaya is a London-based artist and filmmaker, of SYRIAN origin, whose practice spans sound, VIDEO and sculpture. drawing from field recordings, archival material and open-source data, her work engages with memory regimes within physical, emotional and digital geographies of violence. her work navigates the interplay between intimate subjectivities and collective imaginaries, embracing a narrative-driven sensibility intertwined with conceptual and poetic rigor. She recently completed her masters in Visual Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London.
HER work has been exhibited internationally, including ‘Beyond A Reasonable Doubt’ (2022) at reference point, London, with WANAWAL, and ‘Crystal Clear’ (2024) at bayt al mamzar, UAE, CURATED BY studio salasil — an exhibition recogniSed by FRIEZE as one of top ten SHOWS globally in 2024. Most recently, she premiered her debut feature-length essay film ‘Shapeshifting’ (2024), a meditation on the post-war Syrian condition as seen through the lens of the alternative music scene, commissioned by Boiler Room (UK). Parallel to her moving image and visual practice, Hadaya is also a sound artist, with performances at venues including Ormside Projects and Cafe Oto in London, and Kanaal40 in Amsterdam.
