Biography

Radmila obtained her Bachelor with Specialisation in Communication studies at Concordia University in Montréal, Canada. Following years, she worked as a communication specialist and multimedia designer, mainly in cultural sector. Among other organisations, she worked at Eyesteelfilm, cinema production company committed to socially engaged cinema, and Studio XX (now Ada X), a bilingual feminist artist centre for exploration creation and critical reflection in media arts and digital culture. She participated in art projects including ‘Monument du Vide’, (now archived at Rhizome), ‘d_verse’, ‘Maids in Cyberspace’ and others. She co-founded a multimedia design company ‘RGBs’ in 2005 which offered multimedia workshops for women in technology entrepreneurs (e.g. for Centre des femmes de Montréal).

Inspired by Digital Methods Initiative (DMI), a research platform developed by Prof. dr. Richard Rogers for New Media and Digital Culture Master programme at the University of Amsterdam (UvA), Radmila moved to the Netherlands in 2009 to continue her academic studies. Following DMI, she has explored how digital methods and tools can be used to repurpose online devices (e.g. hyperlinks) and platforms (e.g. Google) for research into social and political issues.

At Creative Business, Radmila has been teaching media and communication courses (Framing Media, Media Culture), research methods (Data Storytelling, Research Lab and Methods), new media courses (Technology, Entrepreneurship with Social Media), design-related courses (Human-Centred Design, Creativity).
