Smirna Kulenovic is a transdisciplinary artist, researcher, educator, and ritualist whose practice weaves art, ecology, and memory.

Born in Sarajevo under siege, she explores how embodied rituals, plant intelligence, and ancestral practices heal landscapes and communities fractured by war, displacement, and ecological violence.

Working across the Balkans, with a focus on the Mediterranean bioregion, she co-creates pilgrimages, films, installations, and educational projects that reconnect ancestral wisdom with future resilience. Her ongoing PhD Research at UdK Berlin, Witchcraft for the Wounded Earth, bridges eco-somatics, decolonial feminism, and ritual art, transforming collective wounds into acts of care and re-rooting. Through her work, Kulenovic cultivates spaces where art becomes alchemy, tending to the resilience of both humans and more-than-human worlds.
