Julie Weitz is a visual artist, performer, and researcher whose interdisciplinary practice moves between site-specific performance and participatory ritual, extending into video, photography, textiles, drawing, writing, and cultural organizing.

Across these forms, she translates between archival and embodied research, activating ancestral memory and folklore as living, improvisational methodologies for collective experience. Weitz approaches diasporic culture as an experimental field shaped by rupture, transmission, and reinvention, where performance and material form become tools for re-sensing how histories persist in the present.

Weitz is a Fulbright Scholar (2023–24) and a Wallis Annenberg Helix Fellow at Yiddishkayt (2020–23). Her performances have been presented at Jewish Museum (Amsterdam), Dokumentale (Berlin), ExtraCity Kunsthal (Antwerp), and Harvard Divinity School (Cambridge), among other venues. Her artwork has been exhibited at the Contemporary Jewish Museum (San Francisco), POLIN Museum (Warsaw), Jewish Museum (Vienna), Coaxial Arts Foundation (Los Angeles), and the Jüdisches Museum (Augsburg). Weitz has been featured in Artforum, Art in America, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, BOMB, and Hyperallergic. She is currently based in Berlin.
