Velma Babić works across performance, photography, and spatial practice.
Her work is rooted in questions of memory, displacement, and the entanglement of personal and collective histories shaped by war and its aftermath. Using her own body as a site of negotiation and resistance, she develops works that unfold through gesture, repetition, and the material presence of the body in space.
Alongside these, drawing appears as a parallel form—tracing what precedes language and resists direct articulation.
Rather than representing experience, her practice engages with what persists: traces, tensions, and forms of memory that resist visibility yet continue to act. Drawing on her background in literary studies, she approaches these conditions with a precise and layered sensibility, attentive to language, silence, and structure.
Her works operate with reduced means—minimal in form, yet dense in implication—inviting a sustained encounter with questions of violence, endurance, and the politics of remembering.
