BIOGRAPHY
Velibor Božović grew up in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. When he was in his twenties, the country of his youth became a war zone and Velibor 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).
