___________________________________________________________________

Dušica Dražić (1979, Belgrade, SFR Yugoslavia) is an artist, independent curator, and co-founder and co-director of Out of Sight in Antwerp (2018–).

In her artistic and curatorial practice, she researches the interrelations between places and their users, rethinks them at the level of cultural continuity, symbolic irregularities, and individual agency. Her work focuses on methods of knowledge production concerning social, political and aesthetic changes of (public) space, while examining the conditions needed for people to mobilise, enter collective authorship and imagine shared futures.

Dražić has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions and screenings, and has initiated and (co-)curated collaborative projects and exhibitions. Currently she is a researcher at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp (2025–2027).

From 2020-2025 she was an artistic collaborator and creative producer at wpZimmer in Antwerp, an international workspace for the arts, with a focus on performance and artistic research.

She was co-author and project coordinator of On Mobilisation. Micro- and Transnational Community Mobilisation through Artistic Practice for wpZimmer from 2023–2025. She was an artist, researcher and project manager for Forest Encounters from 2023–2025, and is a co-author, researcher and project manager for On Mobilisation. Towards Multivocal Collaborative Futures for Out of Sight from 2026–2029. All three projects have been co-funded by the European Union (Creative Europe programme).

Recent transnational collaborative artistic and (co-)curatorial research projects include Close Encounters (2024–2026), Six Samples of Disaster (2024-2025), It Rains Differently — We Plant Forest, Forest Is Planting Us! (2021–2026), All That We Have Here Is All That We’ve Always Had (2023), and Symptoms of the Future (2020–2022), a.o.

Dušica is currently the Board Member of Messidor and Storm op komst. Throughout her professional career, she has served on numerous juries (including open calls for projects and residencies, as well as film festival juries) and has given many artist talks. Her work has been published in numerous publications, and she has co-edited artist books and other publications.
