Donja Nasseri
Donja Nasseri‘s was born in 1990 in Düsseldorf. She studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and at the Kunstakademie Münster under Mariana Castillo Deball. Donja Nasseri’s work navigates the shifting relationship between tradition and change, across artistic mediums and broader social landscapes. Emerging from an engagement with intertwined histories and narratives, her practice examines identity, trauma, and collective memory through materials drawn from museums, archives, and communities, reactivated via translation, fragmentation, and recontextualisation. Conceived as a form of visual and material archaeology, it brings historical and personal memories into dialogue with the present, evoking the resonances of colonial histories and the ongoing urgency of restitution. Working across language, metal, audio, photography, sculpture, and installation, her approach is inherently multidisciplinary. Photography and collage are central, expanding into layered sound and fragmented text. Through assemblage and montage, the work resists singular interpretation, inviting multiple readings and temporalities to coexist. It foregrounds relationality over representation, revealing how memory, voice, and silence interlace to shape complex, multivocal forms of meaning.

Fleurie Kloostra (fully booked)
Fleurie Kloostra is a curator at Melkweg Expo, an exhibition space for contemporary photography and a platform for emerging artists, located in the heart of Amsterdam. With a focus on photography that explores identity, society and pop culture.

“Melkweg Expo offers programs throughout the year that highlight themes such as equality, gender identity, and sexuality. It collaborates with various organizations and supports emerging artists. This program creates accessible encounters with important social issues and makes an impact by giving a voice to subcultures and communities that are not sufficiently heard.”

Next to working at Melkweg Expo, Fleurie Kloostra is often solicited as a jury member or portfolio reviewer, and teaches at art academies, private institutes, and talent programs. She works as a freelance curator for different institutions and is board member of Fonds Anna Cornelis

Marga Rotteveel
Marga Rotteveel is a senior researcher and educator. Educated as a photographer at the St. Joost Academy (Breda), she has built on that foundation to make artistic research the core of her practice, a living process that happens through making, testing, and reflecting, in the studio, the classroom, and the field. She works with materials, situations, people, and non-human others, letting what emerges, often a new direction, sometimes an answer, guide the next step. Photography is her primary tool for observing, questioning, and materializing ideas, a way of making visible what often remains unseen. For her, research and education are communicating vessels that feed each other.

For over two decades, she has taught at leading art academies. Rooted in commons thinking and ecological principles, her teaching explores how artistic practices, beyond institutional frameworks, can contribute to more grounded, relational, and regenerative ways of working and living. She currently lectures in two master’s programs, Photography & Society at KABK The Hague and Master Art & Design at St. Joost, teaching courses including Define Your Practice, New Photo Economy, and Rethinking the Artist Economy, a residency she co-developed and continues to shape.

As a researcher in the Collaborating for Regenerative Value Systems research group (Avans University of Applied Sciences), she looks at what it takes to become rooted in a place, studying workplaces where art, ecology, and economy form one living practice.

She is also a mentor and advisor in the photography field, working with festivals, institutions, and professionals across Europe.

Her practice is guided by one recurring question: what does it take to truly belong to a place, shifting from transactional to relational ways of thinking and acting to build meaningful, enduring bonds, bonds that keep people, places, and practices resilient and evolving together over time.
