Author: Goran Petrovic Lotina

Goran Petrović Lotina is an author, scholar, and curator with a deep interest in exploring the intersection of performance, politics, and theory. Before completing his PhD at Ghent University, he studied at Sciences Po: The Paris Institute of Political Studies and the University of Belgrade. Since 2018, he has been teaching at Sciences Po Paris, and since 2023, at UC Louvain. Following his role as a Postdoc Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, Goran took up the same position at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. His research primarily focuses on how contemporary performances, whether civic or artistic, can effectively contest dominant politics and invigorate democracy. Goran has been the recipient of various postdoctoral research grants, including the Marie Curie postdoc fellowship, an Eutopia research grant (which he declined), and the Marie Curie Cofund grant. He recently published "Choreographing Agonism: Politics, Strategies, and Performance of the Left" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021) and co-edited "Performing Left Populism" (Bloomsbury, 2023) alongside T. Aiolfi. Since 2000, Goran has actively worked as an independent curator, collaborating with esteemed artists and art institutions such as MoCA Belgrade, Kran Film Copenhagen, Moscow Biennial, Kaai Theatre Brussels, AC South Florida, and Fogo Island Art - Newfoundland, among others. Additionally, he is a member of l'Association internationale des critiques d'art (the International Association of Art Critics).
