Sanja Lasić, born 1987 in Sarajevo (ex-YU/BiH) is a visual artist, musician and social work educator. She grew up in west-Slovenia on the border with Italy. She earned her BA in 2010 from Nuova Accademia die Belle Arti Milano in Painting and Visual Arts and an MA in 2017 from Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in Art and New Media.

She works with video, performance art and drawing to create highly intimate interventions on identity, belonging, memory, and trauma. Her most recent research and artistic project explores visual and musical cultural heritage of her native country. The artist seeks to understand the connection between personal and collective history related to the former Yugoslavia, the Bosnian war in the 1990s and its post-war identity, based on her personal experience and the consequences of intergenerational persecutions and settlements between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia.

Sanja Lasić currently lives and works in Vienna, Austria.
