Exhibition Details:
The exhibition emerges from a turbulent political moment in Serbia during 2024–2025, where protests, police force, and media manipulation shaped public life. The works gathered here explore how violence becomes content, how wounds, footages, and hostile narratives circulate as consumable images. By reframing these materials, the artists reveal the mechanisms of exploitation while transforming them into acts of resistance. The exhibition highlights a paradigmatic move from umetnički rad to umetničko delo. While both translate into English as “artwork,” Serbian word delo suggests a deed — an action with consequences, when art becomes done, lived, and enacted.
The aftermath of the current political situation in Serbia and wider brings transformation, thus the works transform traces of violence, mediated narratives, and frontline footage into unsettling visual testimonies: bruises become postcards, drone-noise becomes monumental abstraction, and tabloid attacks are reassembled into the symbolic form of a crucifix. Together with the spontaneous, two-day reshaping of the gallery of the Student Cultural Center in Belgrade, these pieces expose how bodies, images, and dissent are exploited, while insisting that collective presence and creation still resist erasure.

Featuring:
Visual artist currently pursuing doctoral studies in Fine Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, where she also completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees and works as a research assistant. Her practice engages critically with the structures and contradictions of contemporary society, focusing particularly on institutional critique, employing media and strategies that respond to the specific context of each project. Humor and speculative thinking are central to her approach, serving as tools for navigating and exposing the absurdities within social and cultural systems.
Her work has been exhibited in solo and group contexts across Serbia and the region. She remains a member of the still-active collective where she played an active role in both the planning and implementation of the Liberated Students’ Cultural Center in Belgrsde program during the 2024/25 anti-regime protests. She is also a member of the para-artistic collective Ćelija.
