Milica (Mijajlovic) Zhivkovic, is a multidisciplinary artist who completed her Bachelor's studies of painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cetinje in 2017 and obtained her master's degree at the Academy of Arts, Design, and Architecture in Prague in 2020. Her artistic practice is mostly influenced by her experiences of growing up in the Balkans, especially during the post-war years, family migrations between the former Yugoslav states, as well as the ideas of memory politics. Her work, as well, treats the specificity of the female struggle in the Balkan region, with a particular emphasis on vulnerability within the context of complex and often contradictory narratives. Milica has exhibited her works individually in Budapest, Prague, Belgrade, Bratislava, and Ljubljana, as well as collectively across Europe. She was awarded the Milchik YVAA Award in 2023 and her works have been featured in several international art magazines, including ArtTribune, Kuba Paris, Easttopics, Nonfiction, AQNB, and others. She currently lives and works in Belgrade, Serbia.
