He was also a co-curator and artist in the Somos Recuerdos exhibition with the Center Space Project. \n\n\n\nHis curatorial involvement has been featured in the Daily Texan and curator talks at the Visual Arts Center. In 2023\, he received the Hispanic Scholarship Fund scholar designation. \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, Martinez participated in a Preparator Internship at Mexic-Arte Museum where he continues to work full-time as a Digital Media/Registrar Associate. He also attended a week-long sculpture program at the Ox-Bow School of Art in Michigan and received the 2024 Frick Art Award. \n\n\n\nMartinez graduated with honors from the University of Texas at Austin in Spring 2024 and received a BFA in Studio Art and a BS in Arts and Entertainment Technologies. \n\n\n\nArtist Statement\n\n\n\n“Using textiles\, photography\, video\, sculpture\, and printmaking\, I create artwork that is often autobiographical and critical of the violence and injustice of immigration and manual labor. Within my work\, I create portals inspired by architectural elements that summon the shared experiences ofimmigrant Latino and Chicano cultures. I record lived domestic spaces to arrange nostalgic digital montages and collages that reinterpret and project my memories of growing up in Mexico. Influenced by rasquache attitudes that have prevailed through my frugal upbringing\, I repurpose found materials and tools to create sculptures and installations that materialize the struggles of manual labor and worker exploitation. I appropriate legal documents and national symbols and employ the imagery of borders to criticize Western propaganda\, oppression\, imperialism\, colonization\, and interventionism. I utilize my multimedia practice as a medium of introspection and understanding of the world around me\, so my work ultimately seeks to become a catalyst for self-reflection and community.” \n\n\n\n\nLook at Julio’s work\n\n\n\n\nMaking of Pasitos de Acero Process\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChangarrito Cart – July 19  and July 26 \n\n\n\nArtists have the opportunity to sell their art on the Changarrito cart in front of the Museum (or an offsite location\, as representative for the Museum during various Austin festivals).
