A stage masker-wigmaker, an art historian (MA), curator and the director of the Museum of Applied Art, Jotić is originally from Herzegovina (born in Mostar, lived in Bileća). Following her father’s reposting a military officer, she moved to Belgrade, where she now lives and works. Jotić is the mother of two grown children.

            Jotić graduated in Art History at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade (MA). During her tumultuous student years (the 1996/97 protests and the 1999 NATO bombing), she volunteered in the Department of Art History library. After graduating, she continued her volunteer practice at the National Museum in Belgrade on the Digitization of Museum Collections Project, as well as working at the Vatroslav Lisinski Secondary School of Music. She defended her habilitation and received the title of curator, continuing with her professional practice by independently establishing a gallery, which she ran for 8 years as an art director, after which she initiated the establishment of an art association of which she is one of the founders. Jotić initiated and implemented several authorial projects, regional and international, as well as a large number of solo and group exhibitions. She was the selector of a large number of international exhibitions, the judge of award-winning exhibitions, initiating and moderating several panels, carrying out expert guidance through exhibitions and the author of numerous exhibition settings. Over 30 of her texts have been published, both in catalogues and professional magazines and publications.

Jotić has initiated and realized regional research dedicated to female identities in contemporary visual art. A documentary film was made about her co-authored exhibition “Mediala: Once Upon a Time,” broadcast on the national frequency of the Radio Television of Serbia (RTS 3, Cultural Palette). Also, her documentary series “A Woman About a Woman” directed by Boris Miljković was broadcast on the same channel.

            Her past work has been covered by numerous media sources, from television, radio and print media to new forms of Internet portals. Over 10 interviews have been published. She has had over 20 guest appearances on various TV and radio programs, news programs and those specialized in art and culture.

Her projects have been backed several times by the funds of the Secretariat of the City of Belgrade, the Ministry of Culture and Information and EU IPA Funds. She advocates for improving the standards of contemporary artistic and curatorial practices, with a focus on younger generations and the issue of women’s rights.

            Since October 2021, she has been running the Museum of Applied Art, first as an acting director, and from March 2023 in the capacity of director. She is actively engaged in curatorial and programming activities together with the management in order to organize museum activities and encourage various forms of cooperation. The focus of the strategy is on connecting the institutional and non-institutional, that is, the public and civil sectors. She is a commissioner and curator of several projects that represented the Republic of Serbia at international events, on behalf of the Ministry of Culture: the Triennale of Design and Architecture in Milan (2022), the London Design Biennale in London and the Prague Quadrennial of Scenic Design (2023), as well as the Malta Art Biennale (2024). She has chaired the Council of the Biennale of Architecture in Venice for 2023 and is a member of the Council of the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Belgrade.
