As public mediation coordinator, museum storytelling is central. I work alongside and together with the curators on all major loan exhibitions of Musea Brugge.

I coordinate, initiate, organize and create visitor tools, guidance and audience programs at all of Musea Brugge’s exhibitions, tailored to the different audiences that are guests there.

In the museum’s curatorial team, we define and determine the identity and impact of our future exhibition.
From my position as coordinator for public mediation, the focus is on the target group approach and also how through art and heritage, any historical and art historical value can also be meaningful for all our (future) visitors today.

Central to this vision is how to engage every visitor today in the stories about the collection we tell and display. This ownership is the challenge for the museum of the future, which is a place with a low threshold, open doors and room for participatory and co-creative processes around its collections and stories.

Since 2010, I have been working for Musea Brugge on various projects and museum redesign trajectories, with an expertise in storytelling and (youth) participation.
