Julia Huỳnh is a second generation Vietnamese Canadian interdisciplinary artist and Curator for the Southeast Asian Archive and Research Librarian for Asian American Studies at the University of California, Irvine.

She holds an MA in photography preservation, HBA in art & art history, and a diploma in fine arts. Some areas of research interests include: ethics and care in archival studies, oral histories, and investigating the use of photography and performance as tools to construct identities, communities, and memories throughout the Vietnamese diaspora. She has spoken about her research and art practice at OCAD University, University of California Irvine, Sheridan College, Association for Asian American Studies Conference (Madison, WI) and Association of Canadian Archivists Conference (online). When she’s not thinking about photographs, storytelling, or what it means for her to be a daughter of the diaspora, Julia likes to doodle, create with clay, and play animal crossing.
