Opening Reception: An Unkindness

Join friends and supporters of the Brookline Arts Center for the Opening Reception of An Unkindness, a solo exhibition of work by Julia Hechtman. An Unkindness will be on view at the Brookline Arts Center July 5 — September 30, 2025. Julia Hechtman is a visual artist who lives and works in Boston, USA. Primarily a video maker, Hechtman also uses photography, sound, sculpture and installation in her practice. The natural world features prominently in her works, which has allowed her to travel extensively, and to contemplate the familiar in new ways. Much of her travel has been to the arctic. In 2019 she was a Fulbright Scholar to Iceland as a researcher and teacher. The project she began then, Not Once, was continued in 2023 with an American Scandinavian Foundation grant, an exhibition of the work at The Museum of Photography in Reykjavik. Most recently Not Once has been added to the Video Data Bank’s archive as a collection along with 21 other titles by Hechtman. More Info below.
