Curator of Photography, History Department, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (since 2015)
My field of interest is the history of photojournalism, and especially the production, distribution and reception of photojournalism and press photography in the 20the century. I am also interested in the visual archive as an 'ecosystem'. Currently, I am preparing an international symposium on these topics, which will be held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, end of June, early July 2021.
