Arts and culture are crucial for coping with a rapidly changing world. They help to renegotiate social values, can transform fear into understanding and foster a shared sense of purpose in the face of political, economic, technological and environmental challenges. In the Arts and Culture department, we work for a vibrant and resilient cultural landscape that contributes to opening new perspectives, exploring experimental futures and providing a platform for critical debate and solidarity.

After completing my studies and doctorate in art history, I devoted my professional career to strengthening cultural infrastructures and democratising access to art and culture – including for Phaidon Press London, the Getty Research Institute (2016–2019), the VALIE EXPORT Centre Linz (2020–2023) and the Centre for Image Sciences at the University for Continuing Education Krems (2023–2025).

Since September 2025, I have been working on inspiring projects for the ERSTE Foundation in the fields of art, culture and society.
