For the Valkhof Museum in Nijmegen, I am currently curating a solo exhibition by the Spanish artist Fernando Sánchez Castillo, who addresses topics such as power relations and collective historical memory in his playful work. Sánchez Castillo is well represented in Dutch public spaces. The artist is also working on three big sculptures for the square in front of the museum. The exhibition will open when the museum reopens after renovation in early summer 2026.

For Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, I worked with artists Susanna Inglada (Cataluña, Spain), Koen Taselaar (The Netherlands) and Fatima Barznge (Iraqi-Kurdistan) on curating the exhibition Liefde voor tekenen. The 3 artist-curators chose works from the former NOG collection that relate to their own artistic practice. They also created the design of the museum galleries. Liefde voor tekenen was on view until mid September 2024. The exhibition came with an extensive catalogue, to which I also contributed (see Publications). Photo: Fred Ernst

For QKunst, I curated the exhibition Symbiose featuring works of Emmy van de Grift and Jamie Nee, who share an interest in natural ecosystems. On view at the Social Impact Factory (Vredenburg) in Utrecht until mid December 2023.

For QKunst, I curated the group show Vrijheid van denken at the new location of the Social Impact Factory in Utrecht (Aan de Gracht). Honouring the feminist writer and composer Belle van Zuylen (1740-1805), who used to live in the historic building, the exhibition showed pieces by Utrecht based women artists.

For QKunst, I curated the exhibition Roots at the Social Impact Factory, a hotspot for social entrepreneurship in Utrecht. The emerging artists Samira Charroud & Ibraheem Paling showed intriguing pieces that reflect on their dual cultural identity. 

As a junior curator at Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, I curated a show of a lesser known but fascinating part of the oeuvre of sculptor Lotti van der Gaag (1923-1999): her vibrant paintings and drawings from the 1960s to the 1990s. Photo: Aad Hoogendoorn

For QKunst, I co-curated this exhibition at the Social Impact Factory, a hotspot for social entrepreneurship in Utrecht. At SIF, we organize exhibitions with emerging Utrecht based artists. This edition they were Britte Koolen and Tim Wunderink.

During my first MA internship in 2016, I worked as an assistant curator on an art festival featuring contemporary art in an ecological neighbourhood in Culemborg.

For QKunst, I organized the exhibition Onderweg, with works by emerging artist Sam Reekers. His paintings show people in daily moments of self-reflection and contemplation. The exhibition took place at the Social Impact Factory Vredenburg in Utrecht until mid-August 2025.

For QKunst, I organized the exhibition Denkpatroon, showing works that deal with mental health. They are created by Utrecht based emerging artist Katinka Kuipers. The exhibition took place at the workplaces of the Social Impact Factory, Vredenburg, Utrecht, and was on show until the end of 2024.

For QKunst, I worked on the exhibition Samenweven at the provincial government building in The Hague, on view until December 2023. The exhibition connected a new generation of textile artists to the pioneers from the 20th century in the collection of the Province of South Holland.

I was one of the 3 mentors of the 18th edition of De Belofte (The Promise), a development program for recently graduated artists initiated by Kunstliefde in Utrecht. The 8 artists created a group show titled Façade, on show from June to July 2023.

On the occasion of the reopening of the renovated Stedelijk Museum Schiedam in May 2022, this exhibition combined new acquisitions with 'classics' from the collection.  As a junior curator, I co-curated the show. Photo: Aad Hoogendoorn

During my second MA internship in 2017, I worked for one year as the assistant curator of the exhibition González, Picasso & friends at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag - a collaboration with the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, the IVAM in Valencia and the MNAC in Barcelona, among others.
