Saša Tatić, an artist born in Bosnia, aims to achieve collective recognition and a sense of kinship in her work by addressing themes such as home, belonging, relationship maintenance, the role of women in the diaspora, and communication within these contexts. She focuses on raising awareness of the changes that come with shifting life environments, fostering critical thinking, and balancing an understanding of relevant cultural frameworks. She uses visual and poetic elements of language—including poetry, images, video, and installations—as tools to uncover stereotypical ideas about the migration experience and to explore the potential for balancing between unmet collective expectations and genuine care.
Saša is an active participant in the local and international art scene. She is one of the co-founders of the artistic association Fully Funded Residencies e.V, advocating for equality and inclusion. She is a member of the feminist and left-oriented organization CRVENA in Sarajevo.
She lives and works in Berlin and visits Bosnia whenever she can.
