Jelena Sofronijevic

is a producer, curator, writer, and researcher based in London. Their curatorial projects include Invasion Ecology (2024) and EMPIRE LINES, a podcast which uncovers the unexpected flows of empires through art. They are pursuing a practice-based PhD with Gray’s School of Art, curating exhibitions of Balkan and Yugoslavian/diasporic artists in British collections. Sofronijevic works at the intersections of cultural history, politics, and the arts, highlighting continuities over time, and seeks to make complex ideas accessible, not simple. Much of their research is focused on pluralizing representations of CESEE/diasporic communities and cultures, particularly from the Balkans and Yugoslavia. More widely, they seek to platform perspectives often marginalized or excluded from representation, especially in anti-colonial and environmental activism.
