Asja Mijović, ​Montenegro

Asja Mijović (b. 2001) is a visual artist and curator from Montenegro. Working across sculpture, installation, and performance, her practice engages material decay, memory, and rupture as generative conditions. She often uses the figure of the fairy as a speculative device that opens poetic futures from within material ruin. Much of her inspiration comes from chance encounters or moments stumbled upon in transit, when the body is still but the world moves. 

She holds a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in Philosophy and Civic Studies from Tufts University in Boston, United States. She also attended the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, as an exchange fellow. In 2025, she completed a residency at Cité Internationale des Arts as a nominee of the Montenegrin Society of Fine Artists and a grantee of the UNESCO Culture and Creativity Grant, realizing her solo presentation The Life of Dead Flowers.

Mijovic collaborates across disciplines on curatorial, music, and film projects and has co-curated exhibitions in Germany, Montenegro, France, and the United States. Her long-term vision is to establish an interdisciplinary space for artists in her ancestral village of Brijege, Montenegro.​

This residency and event is supported through Culture Moves Europe mobility scheme, funded by ​the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and is implemented by the Goethe-Institut.
