Motherhood can sometimes absorb us entirely. It may happen that we lose ourselves in that particular role of a caregiver. "Facing the In-Between" highlights the process of rediscovery, redefinition and reflourishing of the self. Facing that space between what used to be and what is now, between what is defined as caregiving to another human being and caregiving to oneself.

Julia Katolla (raised in Costa Rica / based in Germany) is a mixed media artist who received artistic training at the University of Bonn, Germany (2015 - 2017) and the arte fact academy (Bonn, 2019 - 2021). Exhibitions include Bonn, Berlin and London. She was recently awarded the International Confederation of Art Critics Award at the London Art Biennale 2021. From the teachings of motherhood and new feminine perspectives to unprocessed trauma, a little madness and a great affinity for the surreal and the odd, Julia Katolla oscillates between the beautiful and the ugly, the reasonable and the absurd. In her works, she tends to play with the unpredictable outcomes of less controllable materials while seeking symmetry and balance in the arbitrary.
