Biography

Princess Julia was born in Hackney and gained a name in the 1980s as one of the original Blitz Kids; a social scene from London's nightlife. She was a core member of the group who frequented Steve Strange and Rusty Egan's Blitz Club and contributed to the proliferation of flamboyant, glamorous and individual styles in club culture. Her DJing career initially began working at The Wag, Queer Nation and Kinky Gerlinky, and more recently for the likes of Gareth Pugh, Tate Modern and Vivienne Westwood. Princess Julia has also held positions as the editor-at-large at GQ Style and music editor at i-D magazine and regularly contributes to Ponystep, QX and other online and print publications.

PLAYSCAPE

In honour of the seven finalists of the 2022 International Woolmark Prize, FKA twigs directs and stars in PLAYSCAPE, a short film celebrating the art of “play”. FKA twigs’ collective ‘AVANT GARDEN’ launches its new era in this piece for the 2022 International Woolmark Prize. FKA twigs developed an exploration of play within creativity, a method in which the purest expression has a space to be birthed and happy accidents are embraced and elevated. PLAYSCAPE, was inspired by Noguchi’s vision of play as a creative catalyst. Featuring and directed by English singer-songwriter and dancer FKA twigs, the film merges influence from fashion, art, dance, and music. Choreographed by classically trained dancer Juliano Nunes, the film opens with an empty gallery of Noguchi’s play sculptures, which becomes populated by a diverse ensemble cast of characters.
