Amila Ramović (born 1977, Sarajevo) is a Bosnian-Herzegovinian curator and musicologist. She is a professor at the University of Sarajevo.
Education
Ramović grew up in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. She completed her secondary education at the First Gymnasium and the Secondary Music School in Sarajevo during the siege of the city between 1992 and 1995.[1].
She studied at the Academy of Music of the University of Sarajevo, where she earned her PhD in 2015 under the supervision of Croatian musicologist Nikša Gligo. Her doctoral dissertation focused on sound as material in contemporary art.[2]
Career
Ramović began her professional career in 2000 as a member of the Ars Aevi Project team for the Museum of Contemporary Art Sarajevo. From 2005 to 2017, she served as Executive Director of the Ars Aevi Foundation, a long-term project focused on establishing a Museum of Contemporary Art in Sarajevo, designed by architect Renzo Piano. Her work spans contemporary visual art, curatorial practice, and music-related projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina and internationally.
During this period, she was involved in the installation, preservation, and promotion of the Ars Aevi Collection in Sarajevo. Her curatorial work included contemporary art exhibitions and projects realised in Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad, within the framework of Ars Aevi and international exhibition platforms.
Venice Biennale
In 2003, Ramović acted as coordinator of the project presenting Bosnia and Herzegovina's pavilion at the Venice Biennale, produced by Ars Aevi.[3] The presentation addressed Bosnia and Herzegovina’s absence from several previous biennials and featured works by Bosnian-Herzegovinian artists.
She later curated Braco Dimitrijević’s solo exhibition Future Post History at the Venice Biennale in 2009, presented at the Ca’ Pesaro – International Gallery of Modern Art in Venice.[4] The exhibition was subsequently shown at Sarajevo City Hall in 2010.
Curatorial and Academic Work
Ramović curated solo and group exhibitions of contemporary artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina in domestic and international contexts, including exhibitions realised in Italy and France. Her curatorial work includes projects with artists associated with post-war Bosnian contemporary art, conceptual practices, and socially engaged artistic approaches, including collaborations with artists such as Anur Hadžiomerspahić.[5]
She curated Bojan Stojčić's solo exhibition Viva la Transicion! (2020), and produced and curated Selma Selman’s first major monographic solo exhibition at the same institution in 2021.[6]
She curated solo exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina and participated in exhibition projects at major national cultural institutions. In addition to curatorial work, she has delivered lectures and workshops at contemporary art institutions, including Tate Modern[7], Schirn Kunsthalle,[8] and Gropius Bau[9]
Alongside her curatorial practice, Ramović has been active in projects linking contemporary music and sound-based artistic practices. She participated in the Sarajevo Sonic Studio project, collaborating with contemporary composers and curating exhibitions related to sound art.
From 2012 to 2017, she served as Executive Director of the Sarajevo Chamber Music Festival, organised in collaboration with the Manhattan Quartet and the Academy of Music in Sarajevo.
She teaches theory of contemporary music at the Academy of Music, University of Sarajevo.
Other Projects
Ramović collaborated with film director Béla Tarr on international exhibition projects at the intersection of film and contemporary art. She was part of the curatorial team for Tarr’s exhibition Till the End of the World[10] at the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam (2018) and subsequently collaborated on the large-scale installation-performance project Missing People[11], produced for Wiener Festwochen (2019).[12]
Together with Damir Uzunović and Aleksandar Hemon, she co-founded and co-directed the Bookstan literary festival No East, No West (2016–2018).[13]
