Julia Watson, Australian-born and of Greco-Egyptian descent, is a connoisseur of localized traditional ecological knowledge. She is the author of the Lo—TEK, Design by Radical Indigenism (Taschen, 2019), which showcases the soft, earth-based technologies of Indigenous peoples across the globe, and the upcoming Lo—TEK Water (2025). Julia has traveled the world over to understand these technologies and respectfully share the messages of their makers with the world. Watson grew up in Australia, where aboriginal science and knowledge is not only acknowledged in the school system but systematically integrated into university curricula. She is thus driven to steer other nations towards properly respecting and integrating Indigenous knowledge into the “mainstream.” She studied landscape architecture at Harvard, taught for over a decade at institutions like Columbia, Harvard and RISD, cofounded the Lo—TEK Institute, which empowers generational wisdom through nature-based education and advocacy, cocreated the The Living Earth Curriculum and Digital Database, which uplift traditional ecological knowledge to enhance STEM programs, and runs a design studio in Brooklyn, New York, which provides strategic consulting and design expertise at the intersection of culture, ecology, and innovation..
