___________________________________________________________________
Dušica Dražić is an artist and independent curator who lives and works in Antwerp. She researches the interrelationship of place and its users, rethinks them at the level of cultural continuity, symbolic irregularities and individual actions. She is interested in methods of knowledge production concerning social, political and aesthetic changes of (public) space.
Dražić has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and screenings, and has initiated and (co-)curated collaborative projects and exhibitions. In 2018 she, together with Wim Janssen, co-founded OUT OF SIGHT in Antwerp, dedicated to experimental, audio-visual and time-based practices. OUT OF SIGHT exposes value within what we often perceive as different, marginal or even unwanted. It is a space where the poetic and the political coexist.
Since 2020 she is an artistic collaborator and creative producer at wpZimmer in Antwerp, an international workspace for the arts, with a focus on performance and artistic research.
