Jelena Fužinato shares her practice and research through lectures and workshops, working with institutions, universities, cultural organizations, and community groups interested in questions of participation, power, and artistic process. Her sessions are grounded in the same thinking that drives her studio work — exploratory, process-oriented, and attentive to the specific context of the people she works with. Across all of it she brings a care-driven, individually attentive approach, shaped by years of working closely with people in unequal positions and a sustained critical engagement with questions of power, exclusion, and belonging. This work takes shape across several formats:

• Academic Teaching & Supervision — With a practice rooted in painting, drawing, and experimental material processes, Jelena brings both technical depth and conceptual rigour to academic teaching. She supervises individual artistic development, guides process-oriented research, and contributes to the critical and theoretical frameworks of contemporary art education. She is experienced within university structures, in curriculum development, and in supporting students to find and strengthen independent artistic positions.

• Lecture Performances — Her lecture performances move between personal narrative, archival research, and critical analysis, addressing institutional negotiation and power structures. Theoretical frameworks are woven together with material drawn directly from her practice and ongoing research, making each performance deeply situated.

• Participatory Workshops — An experienced facilitator and mediator, Jelena designs and leads workshops for diverse groups and educational settings. Drawing serves as a core method — hands-on and responsive to each group's needs. She has particular experience with sensitive and vulnerable groups, including young women and girls in women's houses, and has led numerous projects in refugee camps and community settings.

• Writing — Jelena's writing works at the intersection of the personal and the structural — examining how institutions are built, how infrastructures of care operate or fail, and how individual experience is shaped by and against these larger frameworks.
