Following a successful first edition in 2024 with Marius Gilbert and Anne Teller, the second edition of the Wiener-Anspach Alumni Talks took place in Brussels on May 13, 2025.

For this equally captivating discussion, our Alumnae Clémence Mathieu and Annabelle Oliva, together with Kim Oosterlinck, explored the many dimensions of the notion of “audience” in the field of cultural heritage, sharing insights from their respective experiences : Clémence Mathieu has been Director of the International Carnival and Mask Museum since 2017; Annabelle Oliva co-founded the agency Retrace with Julie Waseige in 2021; and Kim Oosterlinck has been appointed as General Director of Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in June 2024.

We are pleased to share the video recording and a few pictures from this event. Warm thanks to the Wiener-Anspach Alumni Network for organising these talks and to everyone who attended and expressed their enthusiasm for this new initiative.
