Ljiljana Todorović Jovanović is the founder and director of FemIn kolektiv in Požarevac, Serbia, an organisation dedicated to feminist education, prevention of gender-based violence, memory culture, peacebuilding, and transitional justice. She holds a professional background in Environmental Health Engineering and worked for 15 years in a biochemistry laboratory before returning to academia. She is currently in her second year of Communicology studies. Her work focuses on women’s personal histories, memory politics, and the ways intimate experiences reflect broader social and political transformations in post-conflict societies. She has participated in regional dialogue and reconciliation programs between Kosovo and Serbia, including the Feminist Spring School organised by the Alternative Girls’ Center. During the Feminist Studies programme at the Center for Women’s Studies, she initiated and coordinated the publication Moja baka partizanka (My Grandma the Partisan), a regional project documenting the testimonies of granddaughters of women who fought in the anti-fascist struggle during WWII across the former Yugoslavia.
The project examines how women’s anti-fascist legacies are preserved and reinterpreted across generations in the context of historical revisionism. As a documentary photographer, Ljiljana integrates visual storytelling into her research and activism. Her current project, The Home Archive of Peace, explores memories of coexistence between Serbian and Albanian women before the 1990s wars, using personal archives and participatory storytelling to foster dialogue and challenge nationalist narratives.
