My professional project is nourished by my career of nearly twenty-five years within the Maison des Arts de Cr\u00e9teil (MAC), Sc\u00e8ne Nationale, a pole of artistic and cultural influence in the regional, national and international landscape. From the young hostess in my university years to the presenter in charge of the young audience season for 10 years, it is on the strength of this path of work, emancipation and convictions that I approach my current responsibilities in the construction of the general artistic program.
\nMy ambition is to build alongside Jos\u00e9 Montalvo a committed and responsible artistic project, for the benefit of each and everyone. In view of the contemporary challenges of recognition and construction of an updated individual identity, of an imaginary world, of a community, it is urgent to work towards a wider cultural secularism, respectful of the diversity of cultural expressions. This secularism is based on the recognition and strengthening of cultural rights and participation in the cultural life of each individual.<\/p>\n

Creativity, quality, and artistic diversity have been at the heart of the Centre\u2019s mission since its foundation. But for art not to be something abstract and distant, for it to be truly part of the \u201cculture\u201d of a society \u2013 and particularly in a city as variegated and international as Brussels \u2013 the public must be able to experience it in a way that is both natural and lively. Art and people must find and recognise each other, must interact with and enrich each other. At BOZAR, creation and presentation go hand in hand and the artists are the driving force behind this. As scenographers, (co-)curators, theatre makers, filmmakers, performers or authors, they co-create place-specific pieces or bring Victor Horta’s iconic building in line with the times. BOZAR enables partnerships between artists from Brussels, Belgium, Europe and the rest of the world, as it does between artists and scientists, entrepreneurs, politicians and so on.<\/p>\n
