Kasja Jerlagi\u0107 (1996) is a multidisciplinary artist from Sarajevo. She has a BFA in Printmaking from the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo; she has worked in several local galleries (11\/07\/95, Duplex 100m2, Charlama Depot), founded and led the art-activist collective ODRON (2018-2022), organizing events at the intersection of art, culture and politics. During the pandemic she started doing handicraft: embroidering on discarded fabric, weaving on a DIY loom, and making tapestries of different sizes. Her artistic output is eclectic, but the common thread is a desire for political action, articulating emotional truths, and questioning of our place in a system that is hostile to humanity. She likes to consider herself a propagandist of a utopia that doesn’t exist yet.<\/p>\n
