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. He is a resident of the Pouponnière in Lille, and is accompanied by la malterie arts visuels.
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 Palais de Tokyo, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, 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.
