Vanja Lazic is the executive director of Kriterion, an art venue that seeks to develop civil society and promote social change by offering a space for artists, youth, and social justice activists to gather, organize, network and create.
She considers Kriterion a cultural movement that not only offers access to art and cinema, but creates part-time jobs and enables students to celebrate their unique and diverse identities and to learn to be open-minded and tolerant.
