Julius Manapul: ARTIST (Contemporary, Queer Filipino Artist)

Born: Manila, Philippines, July 8th, 1980. Filipino/Canadian. Education: BFA 2009 Ontario Collage of Arts and Design. Major: Drawing & Painting. Awards: Eric Freifeld Award, Figure Draughtsmanship (2007), Christopher & Mary Pratt Scholarship, Drawing and painting (2006).

Born in the City of Manila, Philippines in July 8, 1980. He immigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1990 where he acquired his Bachelors of Fine Arts in Ontario College of Art and Design University in 2009. He then took one year of residency in Paris, France from 2009-2010 and one year at Toronto School of Art in 2010-2011. Julius completed his MVS Masters of Visual Studies at University of Toronto in 2013 along with his Sexual Diversity Studies Certificate from University of Toronto. His work had been presented at UTAC Gallery, Open Gallery, Propeller Gallery, P/M Gallery, Daniel Spectrum, The Paradise Now Collective curated by Rae Johnson, The Rivoli’s “Fashion Art Fusion Show” performance part of the Paradise Now events, Nuit Blanche-Toronto, Toronto World Pride Affiliated Art Event, BAAF Big Alternative Art Festival Participation Projects curated by Carla Garnet, and had shown works in Toronto-Canada, London-UK, Paris-France and Berlin-Germany.

His work focuses on personal hybrid nature of Filipino culture and queer identity. These hybrid images reflect his identity in a queer community that upholds homonormativity. His experience is a personal journey informed by religion, queer culture, and the postcolonial issues as they relate to queer identity and is a reflection of his experience of immigration and transformation. Looking at the reality for many diasporic queers of color to creates a space of my own crafted domestic shrines of queerness that begs the questions: What is sacred? What is worshiped or held up as perfect? What is masculine? Who decides? and who has the power?
