In my graduation research, I focused on the role of art education within museums as a place for encounter between generations. How can educational programmes contribute to meaningful conversation between past and present? What can we learn from the history of previous generations, and what do we pass on to the next?

From my experience as a guide, I explored how we can use art to make difficult topics such as history, power and identity discussable — in a way that leaves room for multiple perspectives.

Through observation, dialogue and experiments in practice, I explored the power of connection, imagination and active participation. The result is not a ready-made method, but a plea for listening and searching for meaning together. My research is an invitation to museums and visitors to approach art as a shared experience — as a bridge between worlds, ages and stories.
