Join us for an guided walk-through of Elsewhere, on Record with artist Velibor Božović. Discover how memory, migration, and storytelling unfold across his work – from “failed” photographs to migration narratives and live radio experiments.
This exhibition also includes the third edition of Radio Elsewheres, an art and community radio project organized by Božović, Steve Bates, and Claudia Zini. Radio Elsewheres will be live from the gallery between October 16 and November 5, 2025.
Velibor Božović grew up in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. When he was in his twenties, the country of his youth became a war zone and Božović spent the duration of the siege of Sarajevo honing his survival skills. In 1999, he moved to Montreal where, for eight years, he worked as an engineer in aerospace industry until he gave up his engineering career to fully dedicate himself to his art practice.
Božović holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Arts at Concordia University in Montreal where he now teaches. His work explores how images and sound shape memory and how they operate in the space where the historical, the fictional and the personal interrelate. Exhibited in Canada and internationally, his projects have received support from the Canada Council for the Arts and by Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec (CALQ).
