SubDokumenta Sarajevo 2025 will present the works of more than 90 renowned artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the region, and the world. The curator of the biennale is visual artist Jusuf Hadžifejzović, who, in collaboration with art historians and critics, has selected artists who were active as far back as the original YU Dokumenta, as well as representatives of new artistic forces on the regional and international scene.
The program is divided into several sections: Official Selection, Video Labyrinth, Time Machine: From YU Dokumenta to SubDokumenta, and a series of special and supporting programs. Four contemporary art galleries will also be presented within the biennale: Manifesto (Sarajevo), Vagon (Banja Luka), OK Galerija (Rijeka), and B2 (Beograd). A special segment consists of panels dedicated to the historical continuity of the biennale and recent tendencies in the field of contemporary visual arts.
