My name is Bojana Fužinato /Stamenković, I was born on 2 April 1986 in Čačak, Serbia. Since the beginning of 2019 I’m working and living in Hamburg, Germany with my partner Toni and our son Orion.
From 2014 until the end of 2018 I have been working and living in Vienna, Austria. I’m a visual artist, cultural worker, and activist in the field of women’s rights and cultural awakening in underdeveloped areas. 2019 I finished the post-graduate Master’s Program ecm- educating/curating/managing at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and also worked there for four years in the management team. 2019/ 2020 I sudied Digital feminist School at the Center for Women’s Studies at the Faculty of Political Sciences. From the beginning of the 2018, I was part of the team das weisse haus artist space in Vienna, at the curatorial position Graduates — a scholarship program for exhibition organizers, which is accomplished with the generous support of Phileas – A Fund for Contemporary Art.
Since 2012 I’ve also been a PhD student at the University of Arts in Belgrade, focusing on aparticipatory feminist project in the field of visual arts. One intensive output I received was at the International Summer Academy Salzburg in 2009 with training in the field of performances and video art, within the workshop-media-installation-performance in the class of Prof. Gulsun Karamustafa, where I received a grant from KulturKontakt Austria. Two years after this program I received a scholarship and went to the photography workshop at the Summer Academy program in Traunkirchen with the artist Eva Schlegel. With my colleague Jelena Fužinato (BiH, Berlin) I founded the artistic group Rouge in 2011, in which we examine the issues of gender, the status of women, identity, and the field of labor migration. We both graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, the Department of Painting, with a graduation project in the field of contemporary visual practices, both of us with very striking feminist themes in ours works, which led to us working together.
Regarding my recent cooperation and projects in my artistic career, I’m presented by the gallery Schleifmühlgasse 12-14 (http://12-14.org/artist_Bojana_Stamenkovic/).
To sum up, in my artistic career so far I have achieved more than 70 group exhibitions in the territory of Europe and 13 solo exhibitions in Serbia.
