Artist Talk: Šejla Kamerić
A talk about reclaiming the narrative
Join us for an artist talk with Bosnian artist Šejla Kamerić, held on the opening night of her exhibition EX YOU. The conversation is led by Sofia Liljergren, Exhibition Producer at Fotografiska.
In EX YOU, Kamerić explores themes of identity, memory, and resilience – asking what it means to be erased from history, from belonging, from one’s own body. Born in Yugoslavia, her life and artistic vision have been shaped by the war and its enduring impact on identity, displacement, and survival. Her works are raw, intimate, and unapologetic; they don’t whisper, they demand to be felt.
This conversation invites you to engage with her artistic journey and reflect on how art can confront and heal what words often cannot.
