She regularly participated as a panelist in national hand-craftsmanship forums and competitions of the “Golden Hands of Serbia”. Radmila served as director to numerous Serbian women national handcrafting exhibitions and continues her work on preserving Serbian national heritage of traditional embroidery techniques in cooperation with the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade. The exhibition will remain open through April 15, 2016.
