Isidora Branković, born on October 1, 1999, in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is where she creates, lives, and works. She graduated in Intermedia Art at the Academy of Arts, University of Banja Luka. Currently attending master's studies at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade in the New Media program.
She expresses herself through performance, video art, photography, painting, and installation. Through art, she questions moral boundaries. She believes that what defines her work is rawness, taboos, and a high libido. In her creative process, she starts from the marginalized groups of society, which she considers the most sincere and broadest field of exploration. The scent of fresh meat and the suppression of elitism. She aims to break down the boundary between the audience and art, exploring social boundaries—hers, yours, and ours. Through irony, she depicts the state of consciousness in contemporary society and dogma in general. Her exploration of different characters and states of consciousness carries a touch of spirituality and strong individualism.
In addition to her artistic engagement, she actively works in the field of artistic production, organizing and developing the scene for the young generation of contemporary artists in Bosnia and Herzegovina through the work of Vagon Gallery and Citizens' Association ‘’Prostor’’. In 2022, she founded Vagon Gallery. The idea of establishing a gallery arose from the intense need for gallery space and professional collaboration between galleries and artists. Vagon is a gallery that showcases, promotes, affirms, and sells the works of young artists engaged in contemporary art. The primary function of Vagon Gallery is to popularize contemporary art in a wider and expert audience in a regional context, connecting and promoting artists' works on a regional and international stage. Additionally, through exhibitions and public presentations, they actively work on creating a local art scene and developing an awareness of contemporary art among collectors. To date, she has curated fifteen exhibitions. She has also initiated the platform Artist Talk, where she engages with artists in discussing current topics in the art world, as well as the position of young artists in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She has led over twenty public discussions on current topics in the cultural sector, as well as lectures on gender equality.
