Julia Barzizza explores the art, meditation and social identity. Inspired by her Zazen practice, she advocates for visual arts curriculum reform in public schools, emphasizing hands-on learning to foster critical thinking about visual stimuli. Her work aims to enhance student focus and social connectivity while teaching visual criticality to counteract subconscious influences from pervasive images. Barzizza envisions a future where art informs psychology and neurobiology, promoting equity and understanding across diverse communities.
