Sara Haerens


ABOUT

One of my specialisations is the design and production of exhibitions, transforming spaces to tell the stories of the artist and the curator, through visual and interactive experiences. Combining the practical knowledge with my other specialisation, that is within academics, where I mainly focus on the artist becoming the art historian, photography, and the history of archaeological practices. Generally, I am drawn towards socially relevant topics.

My professional journey includes experience as an archivist and in collection management, where I have managed and preserved valuable collections. I have also worked in the museum within educational settings, sharing my knowledge and passion for art and history with students and enthusiasts.

With projects in social media, copywriting and as an editor, I am strong in communication, writing academic essays or shorter texts for the public. I make the message stronger by using the correct imagery and graphic design. With connections nationally and internationally, I keep on expanding my connections.
