Tirtha - Conversations With Women At The Top

The Privilege of Being an Artist — A Conversation on Creation, Humanity & Aliveness with Julia Wilkins
What does it really mean to be an artist?
In this powerful conversation, Julia Wilkins and I explore the privilege — and responsibility — of being an artist in today’s world:
    •    the devotion to aliveness and sensitivity
    •    the internal process of transforming emotion into form
    •    the courage it takes to let the world witness you
    •    and the mysterious engagement between the creator, the creation, and the observer

This is not just a talk about art.
It is an invitation to remember why we are alive.

I am deeply honored to have this conversation with Julia — an extraordinary woman, artist, and member of Tirtha — whose work embodies intimacy, presence, and the visceral pulse of humanity.

About Julia Wilkins
https://juliawilkins.com

Julia Wilkins is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work opens the door to deeply intimate and sensory experiences.
With a background in dance, performance art, and sculpture, she creates immersive interactive environments — sculptural, cinematic, and performative — where the audience becomes part of the art itself.

Her installations, residencies, and exhibitions have been experienced around the world, and her films have been featured in festivals and long-form works.

A graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, Julia began with an impressive international performance career. Raised in a family of artists in Seattle and later rooted in New York City, her life’s work is devoted to the democratization of art — expanding its accessibility, resonance, and relevance.

Julia believes art is an invitation:
to intimacy, to beauty, to connection — and to the possibility of a more inclusive world built on the physical relationship between humanity and its environment.

🎧 If you are a creator, a feeler, a thinker, or a woman who knows there is more to life… this conversation will move you.

Listen — and perhaps rediscover the importance of being truly alive.
