Long-term projects:

Harpirexia

Inspired by mythology, the realm of nature, female superheroes, and fables, this project reacts to systemic silencing in patriarchal society, through the lenses of ecofeminism and feminist speculative fiction. The artist, embodying a hybrid bird-woman predator, engages in a series of micro-choreographies, each contributing to a collection of superpowers vital for her survival as an immigrant woman artist.

more about the project

A Queen of Montenegro

In the project A Queen of Montenegro, traditional, artistic and folk tools and skills are combined to subvert hierarchies within the systems of patriarchal society. My family background and heritage is linked to the rural areas of Montenegro, where female members are explicitly and systematically oppressed, neglected, and erased from the family memory.

more about the project

Sweet conceptual artist

Sweet Conceptual Artist / Süße Konzeptkünstlerin is a virtual artistic identity created in 2013 as a hybrid construction and a performative textual statement. It proceeded to act as an open dialogue platform and a collective identity, building its features and its artistic opus by interacting with observers/participants.
