Julia De Martino // Juniper

I am Julia De Martino, also known as Juniper, I’m an artist who just graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld academie in Amsterdam, Summer 2025. I specialize in live performance, aerial arts, and sound. Throughout the last years, my practice got to dive deeper into pole dance, aerial hoop, noise music, the realms of fetish and eroticism, and learning how to merge those ideas together into performative moments. With my approach to live music and ethereal movement, I invite viewers into my world, in live acts through the different dimensions that my skillset offers.
