Collaborator

Anne Lakeman

Curatorial Fellow at Buro Stedelijk

With people and their stories, the social constructs around them, and their (national) identities as a fundament, Anne Lakeman (1993) uses the image as a tool for exploration and communication. She implements her ability to amplify others in curating exhibitions and producing events, while challenging her own position and role as a photographer. Questions of ownership, power, objectivity and attachment sit at the core of this continuous search and directly feed back into the collaborative nature of her practice.

Since January 2023, she is Curatorial Fellow at Buro Stedelijk.

Anne Lakeman

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.
