Judit Navratil’s practice is multivalent, engaging performance, social practices, drawing, as well as video and extended realities. Her projects are mappings of what it means to continuously oscillate in-between phygital; an immigrant’s attempt to re/construct “home.” Navratil keeps balance through her compass-meditation: Long Distance Somersaulting. Rolling as far as she can helps her seek higher alternatives and to gaze in the Eye of the Hurricane.

Navratil earned an MFA at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco. She has exhibited in Hungary, Canada, France, Korea and the Bay Area. Her work has been recognized through awards including the Cadogan Art Award, a residency at Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris) and the Parent Award of Kala Art Institute. She is currently a Phd Candidate at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna, an affiliate artist at the Headlands Center for the Arts and an Alternative Exposure grantee as the founder-mother of VR Art Camp. VR Art Camp is a social VR art residency program that is part of Judit’s ongoing project, a VR social housing neighborhood. The Szívküldi Lakótelep has been growing since 2018, and it is the base of her research about digital belonging and topophilia.
