Jules Ramage is a French intersex artist and researcher. Graduated from Le Fresnoy-studio national des arts contemporains, he also holds a UPCité research-creation PhD. He is associated with the ECHELLES laboratory of UPCité and a member of Cité du Genre, an interdisciplinary research institute in gender studies. In 2011, he co-founded BLACKCUT, a production platform dedicated to collaborative practices, which he now co-directs with artist Marina Ledrein.
His work explores the links between control institutions, medical power, and gender-based violence. After a first cycle of artistic projects led in prison (2013-2025), he opened a new chapter, focusing on intersex representations (from 2024). He is part of the collective project "De main en main: archival, documentary, and digital circulations of marginalized memories" (DEMAIN), within the framework of axis 5 of the SPHINX project (ANR 24 RSHS 0006), led by Sorbonne University.
Jules Ramage was awarded the FoRTE prize in 2018, nominated for LE BAL-Jeune Création in 2019 and won the Social Practice Arts Prize in 2022, together with artist Marina Ledrein. His work has been presented in France at Bétonsalon-Centre d’art et de recherche, Cité Internationale des Arts, CENTQUATRE, Musée de l’Homme, Beaux-Arts de Paris and at various international festivals such as Visions du Réel, Sheffield DocFest, Glasgow Short Film Festival or Go Short.
