In addition to curating independently, she was curator of Beirut in Cairo (2012-2015), and of Extra-City Kunsthal in Antwerp (2017-2019).

Amal Alhaag (1983) is an Amsterdam-based independent curator, dj, and researcher who develops ongoing experimental and collaborative research practice, public programs, and projects on global spatial politics, archives, colonialism, counter-culture, oral histories, and popular culture. Her projects and collaborations with people, initiatives, and institutions invite, stage, question, and play with "uncomfortable" issues that riddle, rewrite, remix, share, and compose narratives in impermanent settings.
Zippora Elders (1986) is based between The Netherlands and Berlin and has extensive institutional experience. She is director of Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen, Island for Art and Heritage in The Netherlands (2016-). Previously, she has worked at Foam, Sandberg Institute, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and freelance for courses, magazines and funds. As an art historian, her practice ranges from modern art and avant-gardes on the one hand to photography, moving images and digital media on the other. In line with this, she oversees the exhibitions for sonsbeek at the various indoor and outdoor locations and supervises venues, installation and artists, all the while linking this with the activities in the field of peripheral programming, publications, development and online.
Aude Christel Mgba (1991) is an independent curator based between Cameroon and the Netherlands. She was a participant of the De Appel 2018/19 curatorial programme. In 2017, Mgba worked as an assistant curator next to Cécile Bourne-Farrell for the SUD2017, an international triennial of art in the public space, organised by doual'art, a centre for contemporary art, for the city of Douala. She is a member of the Madrassa Collective.
