Through my work at Balkan...Projects, I continue my curatorial practice through research and program development, providing content and overseeing project production.
Walking with Water is one such example: a public program and podcast series created in response to Vladimir Nikolić’s exhibition for Serbia’s national participation at the 2022 Venice Biennale, conceived in collaboration with Serbian Pavilion curator Biljana Ćirić. Developed to extend the exhibition’s research, it opened up its themes through workshops, talks, and embodied encounters.
I led the public program from concept to delivery—defining its direction and research framework, securing the Museum of Contemporary Art in Novi Sad as host venue, and inviting and coordinating participating artists, philosophers, writers, poets, and curators. Guided by Donna Haraway’s call to “think with water” and “stay with the trouble,” the program explored interdependence, hidden waters, and the entanglement of ecological and sociopolitical realities.
In parallel, I conceived and delivered the podcast series—conceived not as documentation but as an extension and continuation of the program: a platform for deeper listening that invites audiences to experience water as integral to our bodies and as a connective medium rather than a boundary.
