She has also been closely involved with The Kootenay School of Writing, a Vancouver-based writers' collective.

Notable exhibitions
 Radul's recent work is the World Rehearsal Court. According to the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery website:

The work serves as an example of Radul's long-running interest in art, technology and the law. In explicitly identifying the performative aspects of the courtroom, the World Rehearsal Court questions the objective and immutable truth that the court process purports to uncover.

 Radul also exhibited at the 2014 Berlin Biennale
