Parade

In Parade, Misha Milovanovich presents an exhibition that navigates the intersections between the human, the natural, and the mythical. Populated by sculptural installation and Misha’s interconnected sculptural forms, this body of work unfolds as a living, breathing narrative of transformation. It speaks to the rhythms of nature, mental health, and the collective act of community healing, offering a profound reflection on how art can nurture both people and ecosystems.

Central to the exhibition is Milovanovich’s continuing investigation into interconnectedness, made manifest through her sculptural forms, performative acts, and immersive soundscapes. Parade brings together new works and Milovanovich’s signature pieces, all of which stand as a testament to the transformative potential of environmental stewardship, mental well-being, and collective engagement.

Drawing from the 1917 Théâtre du Châtelet performance of the same name, Parade offers visitors a fluid, expansive experience. It invites them to engage with an art narrative that, like a garden, grows and evolves throughout the duration of the exhibition. Each performance, talk, and sound sculpture expands the conversation, reinforcing the idea that rituals of care and communal understanding are key to shifting the healing process.

Misha Milovanovich, a Belgrade-born artist who has lived in London since her late teens, graduated from Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design in 1997. Over the last few decades, Misha’s practice has evolved from fragmented abstract forms rooted in painting to organic sculptural creations that seem to emerge, as if born from the earth itself. These fragments, charged with personal symbolism, serve as an ongoing reflection of her life, particularly as a mother. They are grounded in a diasporic identity, the exploration of femininity, the mystery of plant and animal life, Serbian mythology, and a search for self-synchronisation and healing.

Her work is rooted in a deep, almost metaphysical dialogue with nature, a relationship that began in her early childhood on her family’s farm in Serbia, surrounded by meadows and greenhouses. There, she was steeped in the wisdom of her grandmother, a village shaman, who imparted knowledge of plant medicine and old Slavic beliefs - foundational elements that would continue to shape Misha’s artistic practice.
