Bojana Stancic is Program Curator of Performance and Live projects at the Art Gallery of Ontario. In nearly ten years in her role she organized the late-night series First Thursdays merging music, dance, perfomance and talks in a singular after-hours program. She subsequently launched AGO Live, a series of large scale performances throughout the building that hosted the Canadian premiere of Zadie Xa’s performance work Grandmother Mago, an in-gallery edition of choreographer Daina Ashbee’s work Serpentine, an original commission for antiphonal choir by Owen Pallett, and an online performance by Brendan Fernandes amongst others. Most recently she curated artist Miles Greenberg's first institutional presentation in Canada and worked with both Merce Cunningham Trust and Robert Rauschenberg Foundations bringing performances inspired by their respective legacies to Toronto. Prior to working at the AGO, Bojana was a performance designer who worked with experimental dance and theatre artists, as well as musicians. She holds a Bachelor degree in Theatre and Semiotics from University of Toronto, and an MFA in Curating from Goldsmiths, University of London, is an alumus of the 2025 Propel Fellowship program facilitated by Association of Art Museum Curators, and is a member of ICOM's Exhibition and Performance Documentation Group.
