Return to Sender: Postcard project by Non-aligned Constellations Working Group
The Non-Aligned Constellations Working Group (Angelina Radaković, Bojana Piškur and Natalija Vujošević), in collaboration with artist Đorđe Balmazović, presents a series of postcards responding to their research into non-aligned cultural politics.
Drawing on unofficial archives, from personal collections to flea market finds, the research looks to the places where histories survive outside institutions.
Designed by Balmazović, the postcards act as vignettes into this research, commemorating small, seemingly insignificant or forgotten stories. The postcards draw inspiration from First Day Covers (FDCs), the commemorative envelopes and stamps often produced to mark key moments in history bringing this practice into a contemporary context.
What does it mean to return to these histories? To whom are they addressed, and who receives them now? Each postcard carries a link to three short texts by the working group, as well as to a collectively built playlist that attends to the sonics of resistance. Visitors are invited to send the postcards to friends in other parts of the world, enacting analogue forms of publishing and distribution, and extending the constellation with every card sent.
Bio
Angelina Radaković is a curator and cultural organiser based in London. Her research follows how the early histories of the Non-Aligned Movement are remembered, carried, and circulated through personal and lived recollections rather than official narratives. She is Head of Curatorial at Mosaic Rooms and co-runs Old Mountain Assembly, a collective working with practices from historically entangled contexts.
Bojana Piškur is a senior curator at Moderna galerija in Ljubljana and holds a PhD from Charles University in Prague. Her research and curatorial work focus on the Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav context, the Non-Aligned Movement, and the evolving concept of the “East(s),” particularly in relation to art, culture, and politics. Since 2019, Piškur has curated and co-curated Southern Constellations exhibitions at institutions such as Moderna galerija (Ljubljana), Asia Culture Center, Gwangju (South Korea), Filodrammatica Gallery (Rijeka, Croatia), Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro (Podgorica), the Qattan Foundation (Ramallah, Palestine), National Opera and Ballet (Skopje, North Macedonia), and The Mosaic Rooms (London, UK).
In 2025 she participated at the 6th Kyiv Biennale at the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw with research project “East of East”. Her work examines how past emancipatory struggles and alternative geopolitical imaginaries can inform and reshape contemporary debates on power, identity, and solidarity, using art to challenge historical narratives and offer new perspectives on global political movements.
Natalija Vujošević is a curator, researcher and cultural organiser based in Montenegro. Her research and practice focus on archives, collections, and institutional histories, exploring how exhibition-making and artistic research can reactivate overlooked or marginalized cultural heritage and create new forms of access, interpretation, and public engagement. Her work is particularly concerned with Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav cultural and political histories and with the relationships between historical material, institutional memory, and contemporary conditions. Her projects are predominantly collaborative and combine curatorial research, archival work, artistic practice, education, and long-term cooperation with institutions, researchers, artists, and independent organizations.
In 2024, she received the Igor Zabel Grant, awarded in recognition of outstanding achievements by curators, art historians, theorists, writers, and critics working in the field of visual art and culture in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.
