Hana Ćurak is a researcher and an activist. Her research interests broadly emerge from the intersections of memory studies and cultural anthropology, focusing on contemporary art and curatorial practices. 

 

In her PhD project (University of Zürich, Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies, from Spring 2024), titled "Collectiveness and Radical Futures: Shared Curatorship as Intervention", Hana ethnographically explores whether collective curatorial practices are able to intervene across different temporalities and social and political contexts.

 

At the Institute for European Ethnology, Hana is currently associated with the Collaborative Research Center "Intervening Arts", where her research focuses on intervening collective curatorial practices in the context of (post)Yugoslavia. 

 

She is the founder of an academic activist platform "Sve su to vještice (It's all Witches), a collective dedicated to building of a counter-archive of Yugoslav feminist history, with the aim of radical intervention into possible feminist futures.
