Juliana's dissertation project deals with how SWANA cultural practices and gestures are re-routed through certain forms of Latinidad, with specific emphasis on music, dance, and the figure of the dancing harem girl in the world culture industry. Juliana has performed and presented artistic work throughout the U.S. and internationally.
Research interests include how dreams and fantasy are embodied in sociocultural life, focusing on exchanges across the Global South, imperialist constructions of otherness and colonial fantasies, transferable racialized aesthetics, and the relationship between dance, sex, and labor.
