Ophélie Laloy

I graduated as a visual artist from ESA, Ecole des Beaux-Arts (Tourcoing, France) and I have a master’s degree in Museography and Expography (University of Artois, France). My master's thesis was entitled Décentrer le regard, décoloniser les pratiques. Une aventure muséographique au Musée Royal de l’Afrique Centrale.

I was an assistant museographer for Congo Art Works: Popular Painting (Brussels 2016, Moscow 2017). Currently, I am a doctoral student in art history at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and a scientific researcher at the national scientific library of Belgium (KBR) working for the CONGOLINES project on watercolorists active in the 1920s-30s in the Belgian Congo
