Kristina Bozhurska graduated at the Painting Department of the Faculty of Fine Arts-Skopje in 2008, and got her MA in cultural studies at the Institute for Macedonian Literature, Skopje, in 2017, with a main research focus on social art practice. In her works, Kristina uses a multitude of techniques and materials, including ready-made objects, painting, drawing, text and video. Her interest derives from the intersection of art, pedagogy and socio-political observations, progressing into a practice with elements of participatory art that urges interruption of the “usual” and raises questions about possibilities of transformation. By carefully curating materials and visual references, she often brings attention to the discarded, forgotten and useless, questioning the established norms and the dominant consensus. Her solo shows include exhibitions in Gallery Una - Bjarred, Sweden; Skopje, Kumanovo, and Prima Gallery-Berlin. She has also participated in a number of group exhibitions and video art festivals in the country and abroad. In 2011, she completed a residential stay at ISCP New York, and in 2013, she received a scholarship for the Arte Utile course led by Tania Bruguera at the Salzburg Summer Art Academy. She has won several awards: The best video in the “Nano Minute” category of the International video festival in Brazil (2008); 2010 ”Denes” Award for best young visual artist, Skopje, Macedonia, and in 2019, she won the BuzArt award at the Art Residence “Togetherness” in Tirana, organized and founded by the Swiss Cultural Fund Albania and Kalo Gallery. She currently teaches art at the Quality International School of Skopje.
