Dr Lina Džuverović is an independent curator and Lecturer in Arts Policy and Management at Birkbeck’s Department of Film, Media and Cultural Studies. Previously Lina was Lecturer in Fine Art at the Reading School of Art, University of Reading. Between 2011 and 2013 Lina was Artistic Director at Calvert 22 Foundation. Prior to this she spent seven years as Director of Electra, a London-based contemporary art organisation which she co-founded in 2003. In 2016 she curated ‘Monuments Should Not Be Trusted’ for Nottingham Contemporary. The exhibition and associated events brought together varied artistic practices and material culture from the former Yugoslavia, from the 1960s and1970s. Džuverović’s PhD (Pop Art Tendencies in Self-managed Socialism: Pop Reactions and Countercultural Pop in Yugoslavia in 1960s and 1970s), which was funded by a collaborative award (AHRC) between Tate and the Royal College of Art, contributed towards Tate Modern’s exhibition The World Goes Pop (2015).

Lina participated in an Iniva talk for the exhibition Progress Reports: art in an era of diversity in 2010 and was part of the ‘Duties of Self-Care’ Research Network programme in 2018.
