On Bodies, Borders, Resistance
ENCOUNTERS is the first comprehensive retrospective exhibition in Germany by the Berlin-based artist Tanja Ostojić. As a pioneer of feminist and post-migrant artistic practice, she has been exploring issues of migration, body politics, gender relations and institutional mechanisms of power and exclusion since the 1990s. Her works span performance, video, installation and conceptual art, and are often created through close collaborative exchange.
