Angelina Radaković is a Yugoslav-born curator and cultural worker based in London, UK. Her practice is grounded in collaboration and prioritises relational, socially engaged, and accessible approaches.
Her current research explores movements and moments of transnational cultural solidarity, focusing on the Non-Aligned Movement and its relevance today. Alongside discursive gatherings, this research has informed two exhibitions, Constellations of Multiple Wishes, 2022, The Mosaic Rooms, London, and Constellations of Multiple Wishes: Along the Eastern Horizon 2024, Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, Ljubljana, both curated in collaboration with Bojana Piškur.
She utilises cultural work as a platform to examine the interplay between time and memory, and broadly focuses on the affective, every day, and anecdotal ways emancipatory movements impacted ordinary lives.
She holds a BA in History of Art, SOAS, London, and an MA in Postcolonial Cultures and Global Policy, Goldsmiths University, London. She is currently the curator at The Mosaic Rooms, London. She recently joined Old Mountain Assembly, a body exploring speculative practices from the Balkans and beyond.
February 2025, participating on Dwell Here Research Intensive from 05 – 11 February 2025
During her time at IMMA Angelina wants to engage with the entangled solidarities between Ireland and Palestine as a departure point for exploring themes related to friendship, community and connected struggle across time and space. Radaković’s research aligns closely with the theme The Irish Paradigm
Dwell Here offers participants a simple proposition: to commit to this time and place while thinking deeply about its urgencies. Together we are curious to learn what can be activated or challenged through the process of dwelling. IMMA encourages reflection across the following themes to consider geographical, historical, political and cultural concepts of Ireland as a starting point to expand and connect international contexts through similarities and differences:
Technologies of Peace – to consider commemorative landscapes and memories of peace (as a dream, movement, or value) while generating perspectives on sustainable coexistence.
The Irish Paradigm – Welcomes artistic research that creates intimacy and connections, while celebrating the perceived agility and freedoms of operating on the periphery. As a small island on the edge of Europe, Ireland often has a challenging relationship with ‘the centre’.
The Museum as a Site of Vibration – consider how the museum and site can create new vibrations and rhythms within the built legacy of empire. How can museums make visible cultural shifts, including erased, censored or marginalised histories, as well as sustainability, planetary care, sharing and hospitality.
