Context will place figures right or left. However Context will not AFAIK fit text to an irregular illustration, or around an arc etc. TheTeXbook describes a very tedious command:

\parshape (p101) which could allow one to fit the lines to an illustration, arc etc. by hand. But the typesetter must calculate the distances beforehand.

Is there a higher level solution in Context?

There is a MetaFun solution in section 10.5 of the MetaFun book as of Jan 9th, 2002. Greetings Johannes -- Johannes Hüsing There is something fascinating about science. One gets hannes@ruhrau.de such wholesale returns of conjecture from such a trifling investment of fact. Mark Twain
