Dejan Atanacković (Belgrade, 1969) teaches several university courses in the field of visual arts and culture in Florence and Siena. He collaborates with the Florentine Museum of Natural History on his course “Body Archives”, dedicated to the history of representation of the human body. In the past few years, he lead workshops based on a dialogue between students and psychiatric patients. In Belgrade, in collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art and Museum of Etnography, he initiated “Another Gaze”, a project for “new narrative itineraries”, dedicated to the perception of the city by persons with physical and mental disabilities. Between 2005 and 2010 he lead a cultural exchange project called "Outside", between Florence and Belgrade in which more than 300 students, artists and art educators took part. As a visual artist, since the 1990s, he has realized many solo exhibitions and curatorial projects in Serbia, Italy, USA, Canada, Bosnia, Albania and his works were presented in many collective exhibitions worldwide. Some of Atanacković's works are part of museum collections. His novel "Luzitanija" was published in 2017 with the publisher Besna kobila (Belgrade).
