Her academic research and curating interests include postcolonial critique of hegemonic power in art, gender theory and feminism(s) in art practices and socially engaged and participatory projects. She has curated over 70 international exhibitions, mostly committed to searching for new curatorial formats and models of presenting critical discourses and socially and politically engaged art practices. She publishes extensively, including among others <em>Gender Difference in the Balkans<\/em> and <em>The Renaming Machine: The Book<\/em> (both in 2010). In 2012, she was awarded the Igor Zabel Award for Culture and Theory, and in 2013 she was appointed as the first Endowed Professor for Central and South Eastern European Art Histories at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Lecture by Suzana Milevska<br \/>\nPhoto: SCCA-Ljubljana Archive<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska01.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1641]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska01-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Lecture by Suzana Milevska\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7726\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska02.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1641]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska02-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Lecture by Suzana Milevska\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7727\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska03.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1641]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska03-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Lecture by Suzana Milevska\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7728\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska04.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1641]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska04-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Lecture by Suzana Milevska\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7729\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska05.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1641]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska05-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Lecture by Suzana Milevska\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7730\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska06.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[1641]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/aktualno\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/milevska06-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Lecture by Suzana Milevska\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-7731\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The event is the first in the 2014 World of Art public programme, which is being prepared by the SCCA-Ljubljana and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igorzabel.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\">Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3050\" title=\"Svet umetnosti \/ World of Art\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/woa120.gif\" alt=\"Svet umetnosti \/ World of Art\" width=\"120\" height=\"87\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3051\" title=\"Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory\" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/igor_zabel_logo-eng.png\" alt=\"Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory\" width=\"120\" height=\"68\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p>The programme is supported by: the City of Ljubljana \u2013 Department for Culture;
