Ula Deru Simić
Promoting democracy and accessibility of art
Belgian | Serbian
Ula Deru is a visual designer and curator. Driven by digital practices and their relationship to spatial and visual cultures, she prompts conversation between the virtual and physical with an emphasis on diplomacy and multiculturality in the arts.
She studied at the College of Arts and Design Brussels doing a BA in Interior Architecture and Product Design. While being passionate about spatial and digital design, her interest moved towards understanding arts through philosophical thoughts. She moved to London to continue her studies at Goldsmiths University of London by doing a
Post Graduate Diploma in Contemporary Art History. Her desire to combine spatial creation and art history led her to pursue an MA in Culture, Criticism and Curation at Central Saint Martins University of Arts London.
Throughout her studies, she gained knowledge and involvement through professional experiences and independent creative projects, from internships in interior architecture firms to positions in commercial art galleries. Her ongoing research is in the realm of the digital, from graphic design to digital curatorial projects.
