Laumeier’s Cultural Thinker In Residence program, launched in 2012, appoints an individual to engage with Laumeier’s programming over the course of one year. This person is typically a scholar with expertise in a field outside of art—past residents have included archaeologists, an environmental historian, and a nutritionist—to engage in interdisciplinary thinking and learning. Elvir Mandžukić, this year’s appointee, will work with Laumeier’s 2021 In Residence Visiting Artist, Aida Šehović, to explore Bosnian heritage, history, memory, and culture and to build partnerships with institutions throughout the greater St. Louis community.
