Artist Bio
This whole freaky facade is constructed from discarded products of American abundance. Hello my name is Julia Arredondo. I am a traveling Tejana with working-class roots who is navigating the changing landscape of creative economies within the United States.
I am originally from Corpus Christi, Texas and received my BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and my MFA from Columbia College Chicago. I’m formally trained in printmaking and specialize in artistic forms of independent publishing, having founded Vice Versa Press and Curandera Press as my entrepreneurial debuts. I launched QTVC Live!, a DIY home shopping channel, in 2020 and am currently planning additional programming. My practice explores alternative empowerment and reimagines business structures and spiritual philosophies as platforms for play and experimentation.

While serving as a Visiting Artist at Illinois State University, I began developing a new pamphlet series titled NICHO—foldout cabinets of curiosity that explore ephemeral, site-specific collections through printed matter. This series reflects my ongoing interest in how archives, libraries, and overlooked printed ephemera can be repurposed as contemporary altars—spaces of reverence, critique, and intimate engagement.
This two-color risograph print was self-printed at the Wonsook Kim College of Fine Arts from March-April 2025 with reappropriated material from the campus Milner Library.
