I am a Slovene artist working across live art, installation, and social practice, with a focus on material and social transformation. My work is influenced by my personal experience of Yugoslavia’s disintegration during my teenage years, followed by the fast transition from a socialist to a capitalist state. This formative experience drives my efforts to understand and navigate the neoliberal world I inhabit.
My practice often involves large-scale participatory projects, employing collaborative methods to inspire individuals to move beyond passive spectatorship and take active roles in fostering social change. I create knitted, ceramic, and mixed-media objects that act as props, activators, or tools to support my interventions, and to help develop and refine my ideas during research.
I am also a Senior Lecturerat University of the Arts London and the recipient of the UAL Fine Art Fellowship at the British School at Rome (2024/25).
My work has been exhibited, commissioned, and supported by institutions including Tate, the British Textile Biennial, Whitechapel Gallery, The National Archives, the Bauhaus, Ffotogallery, CREATE London, Cuming Museum, In-Situ Pendle, 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning, 47/04, and the Photography Archive Research Centre. I have also collaborated with Siobhan Davies Dance and received supportfrom the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Arts Council England, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Guerrilla Foundation, the European Commission, Darat Al Funun Foundation, University of the Arts London, and the Ministry of Culture Slovenia.
