Marko Stamenkovic (1977) is an art historian and transcultural theorist with a strong interest in the decolonial politics of race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Over the last decade, he has been working primarily in the field of contemporary visual arts as a freelance curator, critic, and writer focused on the intersection of visual thinking with social theories, political philosophies, and cultural practices of the marginalised and the oppressed. He graduated in History of Art from the University of Belgrade. He also holds a PhD in Philosophy from Gent University where he worked on questions of sacrifice, self-sacrifice in protest, and suicide to explore the relationship between human mortality and politico-economic powers on the darker side of democracy. His most recent curatorial projects include exhibitions in Serbia, Croatia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Albania, Austria, Czech Republic and Slovenia. He is associated with ZETA Contemporary Art Center in Tirana (Albania), where he is currently based.
