Welcome. This is me, Bojana.
WHAT I LOVE
I am a visual woman artist with yearlong experience in art management and feminist curating. I fight for more equality in art and society. My passion is to produce feminist art that you can experience in the form of installation in space, sculpture, weaving, embroidery, sewing, video, sound and performances.
WHAT I AM PROUD OF
In my artistic career I have achieved more than 70 group exhibitions in Europe and 13 solo exhibitions in Serbia. Today I’m presented by the gallery Schleifmühlgasse 12-14 in Vienna and MeetFrida in Hamburg.

MY CAREER
My name is Bojana Fužinato / Stamenković, I was born 1986 in Čačak, Serbia. Since the beginning of 2019 I’ve been working and living in Hamburg, Germany with my partner Toni and our son Orion. My form of art are installations in space, sculpture, weaving, embroidery, sewing, video, sound and performances.
In addition I am doing further education at the “Creative Future Academy/ Digitalisation”, Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft. Since the beginning of 2022 I am a member of the Professional Association of Fine Artists Hamburg, BBK Hamburg.
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.
2020 I studied at the Digital Feminist School at the Center for Women’s Studies at the Faculty of Political Sciences, Belgrade. 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.
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 organisers, 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 a participatory 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.
