Mila Panić’s works across performance, drawing, sculpture, photography, and writing, combining personal narratives with sharp social observation. Her practice explores experiences of migration, belonging, and displacement, often using humor and irony as tools to confront the emotional and political complexities of contemporary life. Through both visual art and stand-up comedy, she transforms stories of longing, frustration, and absurdity into playful yet critical reflections on empathy, identity, and survival. Humor becomes for Panić a strategy of liberation—a way to process fear, anger, and vulnerability while reshaping how audiences perceive shared social realities.

Panić holds degrees from the Bauhaus University (Weimar, Germany) and the Academy of Fine Arts (Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina). She has recently participated in the 13th Berlin Biennale, curated by Zasha Colah, and the 6th Encounters Biennale, curated by Ana Janevski and Tevž Logar. Her work has been presented at Künstlerhaus Sootbörn (Hamburg), nGbK (Berlin), Autostrada Biennale (Prishtina), Voloshyn Gallery (Kyiv), 59th October Salon – Belgrade Biennale (Belgrade), Polo del ’900 (Turin), GMK Gallery and Trottoir Gallery (Zagreb), U10 Art Space (Belgrade), National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sarajevo), Center for Contemporary Culture (Bihać), Goethe-Institut (Sarajevo), and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Skopje), among others. Panić works are part of public and private collections including Imago Mundi – Luciano Benetton Collection and the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska.
