She is a visiting professor at the University of Arts in Belgrade. She is a member of the board of the association BAZA – Platform for Spatial Practices and the Efemera Collective, as well as the Association of Architects of Novi Sad and the Engineering Chamber of Serbia.

(1981, Podgorica) He obtained his PhD at the University of Arts in Belgrade, Department of Intermedia Arts (2019). He earned his Master’s degree in Digital Arts and New Media at the Faculty of Media and Communications in Belgrade, and completed his undergraduate studies in Literature at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Montenegro. From 2011 to 2024, he held several solo exhibitions, while also participating in group exhibitions in countries of the region and internationally, including Austria, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Slovenia. He was the representative of Montenegro at the 59th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale in 2022. He is the artistic director of the project 'Art Meets Science', in which he collaborated with the Montenegrin Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation, the Institute of Molecular Genetics and Genetic Engineering in Belgrade, the Faculty of Mining and Geology at the University of Belgrade, and the Museum of Science and Technology. Through his artistic practice, he analyzes the processes and meanings of past events, how they are preserved in memory, and the associations they evoke. He uses archival materials as a source to identify the numerous and inconsistent meanings of memory, employing segments that transform vague images of the past into a logically coherent whole.

(1990, Travnik) M.Arch. completed his undergraduate and master’s studies in Architecture at the University of Belgrade – Faculty of Architecture, where he is currently employed as a teaching assistant in the narrower scientific field of Architectural Design. He is a PhD candidate in the program of Artistic Doctoral Studies in Stage Design at the University of Novi Sad – Faculty of Technical Sciences. Independently and as a member of various author teams, he is engaged in architectural design and research through the design process and is the author of several realized and award-winning projects in the fields of architecture, scenography, and architectural education. He actively participates in numerous international and national exhibitions, workshops, and competitions in the fields of architecture, art, and design. He was a participant in the two-month exchange program 'Design in Residence ’15' at Malmö University – School of Arts, Culture and Communication – K3, and in the international workshop 'Temporary' as part of KotorAPSS (Architecture Prison Summer School). His artistic and scientific research focuses on the border areas of architecture, stage, and visual arts, specifically on the intersections of their creative processes, both among themselves and with other related discourses.

(1981, Tuzla) Outside the region, he has exhibited his work in solo and group exhibitions at Jeune Création, Les Beaux-Arts de Paris (2018), AQB Project Space Budapest (2018), Ultrastudio Los Angeles (2018), Gallery Weekend Berlin (2015), Athens Video Art Festival (2013), among others. He also participated in Liste Art Fair (2015), Parallel Vienna, ArtGeneve (2018), Vienna Contemporary, and ArtGeneve (2019). Šehanović was recently selected as one of the '100 Sculptors of Tomorrow' in a publication released by Thames and Hudson. In his practice, he gives new life to objects or brings them to the point where they begin to mimic life itself. Most of his works merge parts of different bodies into a unified whole—hybrids of ourselves and the images we use to represent ourselves. Adhering to the idea that the body is inherently changeable and that bodily (material) identity is influenced by the illusions of our sensations, the artist explores how the body fits—or fails to fit—into its aesthetic environment.
