Giulia Cordin is a designer, educator, and researcher, operating at the intersection of graphic design and visual arts. Her design practice is distinguished by a critical, multidisciplinary, and practice-oriented approach, which frequently pushes the boundaries of traditional disciplinary frameworks to foster a critical awareness of the political role of her practice in relation to contemporary challenges. Her work particularly examines visual representation politics and practices of image contextualization, through editorial projects and digital media, as well as in exhibition contexts. Central to her exploration is the questioning of the relationship between text and images and the book form as a vehicle for generating meaning.
She collaborates with cultural institutions, museums, and publishers. Since 2017, she has taught Visual Communication at Studio Image, Art Major, at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. She holds a practice-based PhD with distinction in Media Theories and Interface Cultures from the Kunstuniversität in Linz (Austria). In 2015–2016, she was awarded a fellowship as a designer-in-residence at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. She has been in the editorial board of Progetto Grafico (2018–2022) and collaborated with the curatorial department of Museion – the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Bolzano as member of the Art Club (2021–2023).
