Julia Heyward

Overview

Julia Heyward, once known by the pseudonym "Duka Delight," is a multi-media artist whose performances and moving-image works orchestrate sound, language and image into indelible symbolic compositions. Heyward's earliest performance and video art from the 1970s through to her recent focus on digital and interactive technologies show the artist's expressive use of staging, cinematography and her own charismatic presence and vocal techniques to deliver visceral monologues that have the blunt cadence and rawness of poetry.
