I am a doctoral student at the Institute for European Art History at Heidelberg University, and a researcher in the WPC team at the Heidelberg Centre for Transcultural Studies. With a background in Art History and Theatre Studies, my current research focuses on participation in curatorial and art historical practices. My PhD project in particular explores the intersection of online communication and public participation in museums and other cultural institutions. Through this research, I aim to uncover how art museums best use online communication tools in order, to enable not only their already established audiences but also a broader public to partake in the (re)formation of exhibitions or even the institutions themselves. Following one of the core ideas of the WPC project, my research explores whether incorporating the knowledge and thoughts of online participants might be one way of creating art museums that better reflect our diverse civil societies.
