Her artwork has been published in publications such as Studio Visit Magazine (US), by Steven Zevitas, a publisher of New American Paintings; Antenae, the journal of nature in visual culture (UK); and Boston Art Review (US). A recipient of support from organizations such as the Somerville Art Council and Cambridge Art Association, Kulović was also a finalist for the Walter Feldman Fellowship for emerging visual artists in New England, hosted by the Arts & Business Council of Greater Boston. Kulović earned a master's degree in industrial engineering from the University of Split, and has studied art through fieldwork. She also attended selected art studio classes and lectures at the SMFA at Tufts University and MassArt. She is an active participant in discussions on art, culture, and displacement and has co-founded and supported numerous art initiatives in the US and Europe. In 2017, she founded Art Centar Gračanica (ACG), an artist-run space and summer artists' residency in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her involvement as the artistic director for the short fiction film 'Memories,' produced by Paradoxx Films in New York, exemplifies her interest in exploring global narratives of migration. Her most recent collaborative project, Space to Be Different, explores diverse participatory art practices.
