About the Artist

Mila Panić (b. 1991), Bosnian-born artist, researcher and aspiring comedian. In 2015, she moved to Germany, where she completed the MFA Public Art and New Art Strategies at Bauhaus University Weimar, after completing the BA at the Academy of Arts, University of Banja Luka, BiH. The artist's practice ranges from personalized documentation to highly poetic visual and discursive elements, from drawings to family videos, found footage, food and photographs, creating a cycle that interprets the various inheritances of migration by providing the glimpses into the consequences of the process itself revealing what is not documented, shaping the whole picture, de-masks the different cultural narratives existing subtly in the very idea of migration. In this process Panić addresses the constant aspiration for a better life counterbalancing personal expectations and guilt with intimacy as a tool for resistance.

She is the initiator of Fully Funded Residencies association and online platform that serves for disseminating open calls, assisting artists with funded residency opportunities and for sharing experiences and critical reflection on AiR programmes. Her works have been exhibited internationally among others at Kunsthaus Dresden (Germany), the Moscow Biennale for Young Art, Künstlerhaus Wien (Austria), and the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje (North Macedonia) etc. and solo exhibitions realized in Belgrade, Berlin and Leipzig. Panic has participated in several residencies, festivals and talks such as Künstlerhaus Lukas, Ahrenshoop, Germany; Kultur-Kontakt Residency, Vienna, Austria; ADATA AiR Plovdiv, Bulgaria etc. She is the winner of ZVONO Art Award 2020 for Young Visual Artist in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Currently, Panić lives, mingles and multitasks in Berlin.
