Damir Nikšić (born 6 December 1970) is a Bosnian conceptual artist, standup comedian, blogger and politician.

[2][3] In 2000 he acquired a BFA degree from Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo[2][3] and moved as a graduate student to Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA.

[7] Damir Nikšić is also a co-founder of Maxumim art group,[4][3] together with Anur Hadžiomerspahić, Anela Šabić, Ajna Zlatar, Eldina Begić, Dejan Vekić, Almir Kurt, Samir Plasto, Hamdija Pašić, Rachel Rossner, Nebojša Šerić, Suzana Cerić, Alma Fazlić, Zlatan Filipović.

[8] In 2011, he protested regarding the closing of the Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina, setting up daily video updates.

[1] He mostly presents his art through YouTube and social networks, where he uploads short videos and comments of humorous character in which he seriously and symbolically refers to the reality of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He also commented on the attack on Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić during his visit to the event marking the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica crime, saying in his video Srebrni pir: Manipulacija razjedinjenih nacija ("Silver Feast: A Disunited Nations Manipulation") published on 13 July 2015[9] that "a corrida was made of Potočari"; this has received a notable media attention in his home and neighbouring countries.

[13]His goal, he said, was to make a more European city of Sarajevo and prevent the feudalisation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that his office would always be covered by a camera whose footage would be broadcast online so that citizens could watch the "one municipality mayor's reality show" live.
