Charl Landvreugd

Charl Landvreugd, born in Paramaribo, grew up in Rotterdam in an environment and time when many different migrant communities were making the Netherlands their home. Being part of this vibrant space, he advocates for local continental European concepts and language that have the potential to speak about the sensibilities specific to the area. Using a broad range of artistic disciplines, he applies the results of his research to think about citizenship and belonging and how this is expressed in the visual arts in continental Europe. As a Goldsmiths (BA), Fulbright and Columbia University (MA) alumnus he completed his PhD in Curating Contemporary Art at the Royal College of Art in London. Landvreugd is Head of Research & Curatorial Practice at the Stedelijk museum in Amsterdam. He is on several (supervisory) boards and serves as Head of Research at the Masters Institute of Visual Cultures in Den Bosch.
