Verónica Fernández Viejo + Julia Fernández

12 April 2021 – 20 June 2021

Julia Fernández (Xixón, 1995) is a singer and composer. A couple of years ago she started Juliana’s solo project, with which she uploads songs to the internet and gives concerts in acoustic format (guitar and voice). She studied guitar and piano at the Higher Conservatory of Music and Dance of Gijón and is currently studying audio software management for musical production. At an academic level, her field is social work and the promotion of gender equality.

Her academic studies are focused mainly on the field of Philosophy and Gender (Degree in Philosophy and Master in Gender and Diversity and her training as a DJ has been taught by Oliver Ronán at Studio DJ Center in Oviedo, focused mainly on the world of mixing and creation of electronic sessions, currently starting out in the production of electronic music. I have been able to put his academic training into practice through different collaborations with associations and groups, such as through the photographic project Las mil y unafamilias de Xega; with talks like Traditional dance from a gender perspective at the Avilés Cultural Factory, or my participation in Philosophy Seminars for suspicious millennials.

In my experience as a DJ I have been part of the cultural programming of La Lata de Zinc regularly, in addition to different festivals such as Ochobre Folk or Sacavera Sound, and within the agenda of La Folixaria in San Mateo 2018-1019, among other events and establishments.

The artistic interest in this project comes from the sessions focused on the mixture of text, traditional and electronic or commercial music carried out with the collective Les pites ensin gallu, of which he is a part.

Project in residence

Morrú (3rd person singular of the past perfect simple indicative of the verb morrer in the Western Asturian variant) is a musical-theatrical piece that explores reflections on Las Muertes in the form of a dialogue. An attached song teller located in Asturias. A proposition that questions masculine emotionality and explores new femininities, which is in limbo. A review of the traditional Asturian musical repertoire, intertwined with literary and musical compositions. An exhibition that projects ways of feeling from gender, territorial and linguistic dissidence. A prototype of how those who get out of balance die.

Selected project from the 1st Call for Artistic Residencies 2021
