We’ve seen people toss a dart at the map to plan their next travel destination. But we suspect Serbian artiste Katarina Rasic chucked hers at a keyboard instead. From Belgrade to Brazil to Bangkok, Rasic has made quite the ‘B-line’ across the world with her performance art works. Next in line, she has made Bandra her home. This weekend, a community art space in Kanjurmarg will open its doors to Rasic’s immersive, community art workshop.
The last time this writer spoke to an artiste from the Balkans, it was a rushed, almost incoherent chat with a rocker behind the scenes of a concert. Our conversation with Rasic, however, flows with unusual familiarity. “I first landed in India in 2012. I was looking for artist residencies and ended up in Bengaluru. India became my second home before I moved to South America,” she reveals.
