Julia Boxler

Julia Boxler is a journalist, speaker, podcaster, curator, and director working at the intersection of artistic research and post-migrant discourse.

She is the co-founder of the X3 Podcast and the X3 PostOst Agency gUG, with a fierce passion for building post-migrant alliances.

Her freelance portfolio spans high-profile festivals—including the Berlinale, Pop-Kultur Berlin, Telekom Electronic Beats, and KOSMOS Chemnitz, alongside numerous off-space and underground series—to re:publica, academic conferences, and a guest lectureship at the University of Cologne. Her work also features TV award-nominated co-creations for Arte Tracks East and collaborations with international media like BBC USA.

Born in Kazakhstan in 1986, Julia moved to Germany in 1996, grew up in Brandenburg, and studied in Dresden, Paris, and Potsdam. Following the shoot of her debut film bye bye baby, she returned to Kazakhstan from 2015 to 2017 as a delegated editor for IFA (Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations), later receiving the prestigious Marion Gräfin Dönhoff Fellowship (IJP). She is currently based in Berlin.
