Residency Profile

15 Dec 2017 – 15 August 2018

Dragana Jurišić was a recipient of the IMMA 1000 Photography Residency Award.

Speaking  about the award Dragana commented: “The IMMA residency comes at a pivotal point in my career. I am grateful for IMMA’s support during this time and very much looking forward to the new communal context – meeting and living in close proximity to the other residency awardees, the possibility of exchanging ideas and expanding each other’s practices through mutual support and potential future collaborations. The importance of the input from new mentors, curators, art historians and other persons we will meet during our time in IMMA, as well as having an opportunity to live and work in an incredible inspiring place cannot be overstated.”
