Bojan Stojčić (b. 1988, Sarajevo) is a visual artist based in Sarajevo known for his multimedia works that explore complex themes of the discourse and impact of self-colonialization within the meta-Yugoslav space. His work questions both collective and individual perspectives on the peripheral “other” and the self, often drawing from his own experiences of loss, absence, displacement, and transition – issues shaped by his childhood during the war. Stojčić’s art reflects on the lingering effects of conflict in both public and private spheres. He positions himself as a European peripheral entity while simultaneously challenging and subverting this status. The artist expresses his ideas through humor, poetics, and geopolitics, exploring the traces and transformations of the present. Stojčić is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the YVAA Award (2023), the 2022 WHW Academy scholarship for emerging artists, and the 2022 Revizor scholarship for his engagement in science and art. His works have been exhibited internationally, at venues such as the Ivano-Frankivsk Drama Theater in Ukraine, the Tallinn Graphic Triennial in Estonia, and the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, France.
