Bogomir Doringer (Belgrade, Serbia, 1983) is a Serbian/Dutch artist, curator, filmmaker and researcher.

Biography
Bogomir Doringer first studied sociology at the University of Belgrade. Later, moving to Amsterdam, he studied fine art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (graduating in 2008) before completing a Master of Film at the Netherlands Film Academy (graduating in 2011 with Cum Laude). He is currently participating in a PhD program at the University of Applied Arts Vienna with his work "I Dance Alone".

Bogomir Doringer observes how the ritual of dancing and masking appears in contemporary times and what functions it has in our society. His ongoing research project, "I Dance Alone," captures nightlife spaces from a bird's eye, examining the significance of people's dances. His doctoral artistic research in practice at the University of Applied Arts Vienna resulted in coining "Dance of Urgency," a term which, according to Doringer, encapsulate dances emerging in times of personal and collective crisis, serving as a source of empowerment for individuals and groups.
