Launched in 2024, the Wiener-Anspach Alumni Talks celebrate our former Fellows by creating opportunities to meet and exchange ideas on a variety of themes, while also involving academics from the ULB.
For this second edition, Clémence Mathieu, Annabelle Oliva and Kim Oosterlinck will explore the relationship between cultural heritage professionals and their audiences, and how these professionals are reimagining their roles in light of societal changes.
Clémence Mathieu is the Director of the International Carnival and Mask Museum in Binche since 2017. She holds a PhD in Art History and Archaeology from the ULB and was a Wiener-Anspach Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Cambridge in 2012-2013 (you can read her interview here).
Annabelle Oliva, a ULB graduate in Art History and Archaeology, is the Co-director, with Julie Waseige, of Retrace, an agency for the enhancement of historical, archaeological and artistic heritage. which they founded in 2021. In 2015–2016, she completed an MPhil in Critical Heritage Studies at the University of Cambridge with support from the FWA (you can read her interview here).
Kim Oosterlinck is Professor of Finance at the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management and, since July 2024, General Director of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. In June 2024, he joined the Board of Trustees of our Foundation.
