aSTIGMA
aSTIGMA is Sara Pandurević’s project, created, as she says, as a tool for breaking down one’s own barriers, getting out of unhealthy patterns and finding authenticity. “I came up with the idea of calling myself sSTIGMA, because these are the wounds of Jesus, which represent his sacrifice, as slaves sacrificed themselves before. With that sacrifice alone, he got the best of himself, that is, for that entire nation. I am not someone who is too religious, but I am someone who is spiritual. Therefore, it was powerful to be in that concept of sacrificing yourself, getting out of your comfort zone. This will be what will push my limits forward. I want to inspire other people to feel free, without being inspired only by things that are socially accepted, especially in our country, with some ex-yu rock, only with rock, only with metal, etc., or that someone thinks that only folk is not good. I don’t want to inspire people to hate, but to be able to have that authentic anger, which I can get out of myself. So this whole project that I’m doing is not so much focused on music, as on the whole concept, because I can’t exclude all those segments. "Although the idea for the project grew out of SoundCloud rap, it is not limited by genre. Sara describes the phenomenon and concept as trap metal and modern punk. So far she has released an EP called "Lost Reality” and a song by the name of “Animal”.
