Milica Tomić (1960, Belgrade, Yugoslavia [now Serbia]) is an artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans photography, video, installation, performance, discursive and educational formats, and socio-political engagement. Through collaborative and cross-disciplinary approaches, her work investigates questions of memory, violence, migration, identity, and the construction of political narratives, examining the relationship between individual experience and collective history.
Tomić studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Arts in Belgrade. Her work has been presented internationally in major exhibitions including the Venice Biennale, the Berlin Biennale (2025), the Istanbul Biennial, and Manifesta. Recent institutional presentations include exhibitions at Kunsthaus Graz (2025), while upcoming projects include participation in Skulptur Projekte Münster (2027).
Her international residencies include Artpace, San Antonio (2004), the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program (2006), and appointments at several centres and institutes of Stanford University. Alongside her artistic practice, Tomić has maintained a longstanding commitment to education and research. From 2014 until December 2025, she served as Head of the Institute for Contemporary Art at the Faculty of Architecture of Graz University of Technology. In 2014–15, she was Professor at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art (NTNU), Norway.
Tomić’s work continues to explore how artistic practice can operate as a space for critical inquiry, collective learning, and social transformation.
