Snezana Petrovic, a Yugoslav-born painter, installation artist, and former production designer, joins What’s My Thesis? to discuss her early career across film and theater in Yugoslavia and her forced migration to California during the country’s collapse in the early 1990s. She reflects on the loss of a national identity, the experience of displacement, and the complexities of being categorized within new cultural and political frameworks in the United States.
The conversation traces the evolution of her artistic practice from painting and production design to concept-driven installation work shaped by ecological concerns, environmental damage, and global interdependence. Petrovic also discusses the influence of performance art, her time in India and engagement with spiritual frameworks, and how these experiences informed her shift toward art as a space for awareness, reflection, and dialogue around shared human conditions.
