Interview: Julianknxx

published on 3 December 2024

'The question I ask myself all the time is "Whose dream is this?" There are things that I've wanted to do that I could only dream about, and then there are dreams where I think, "That's possible". But, to invite someone to dream with you is such a powerful thing and allowing space for dreaming is a powerful thing. I always ask, "How can that not be a luxury?" "How can that be a thing that's afforded to everyone?" That's my question: Whose dream is this?' - Julianknxx

Visual artist, poet, and filmmaker Julianknxx speaks to Christina Donoghue about why being an artist isn't integral to his identity, the luxury of being able to dream, and why filmmaking is a form of poetry.
