Born in Belgrade, raised in a country that no longer exists, I left Yugoslavia in 1993 as a brutal civil war tore it apart and obliterated it from the maps. I am a director, writer, curator and producer now based in Los Angeles, California.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing (Goddard College) and have worked extensively with site-specific art internationally: as curator and producer of three Collateral Events at La Biennale di Venezia (2015, 2019, 2022) with bardoLA, a Los Angeles-based arts nonprofit I founded in 2014; as Executive Director of the inaugural Desert X (2017); and through productions at the Pyramids of Giza and the Los Angeles International Airport. I am a Fulbright U.S. Scholar (2026–2027), with a research project focused on cultural memory in Serbia through film, journalism, and the legacy of the Spomenik monuments.

My film work currently spans two projects: a narrative feature film inspired by the true story of Yugoslav investigative journalist Dada Vujasinović titled DADA: A Defiant Witness, and SPOMEN, a return, through a documentary film, to the landscapes that formed me, and to the monuments that have outlasted everything.

As an artist who came of age in Yugoslavia and witnessed my country's violent demise, I am dedicated to creating art that illuminates the human cost of conflict and celebrates the courage and resilience of those who resist oppression and fight for justice.
