Katja Weitering, alumna BA Arts and Culture

Since 2000 I am employed in the museum sector. In recent years, the domain of museums and heritage has changed radically. The commercialisation of cultural institutions, increasing emphasis on public participation and debates on inclusiveness and postcolonial perspectives are a few examples.

Arts & Culture has provided me with a solid foundation to critically interpret these developments and to make an active contribution to them. During the study I learned to value information, an essential skill in our complex society. In addition, studying in a historic and lively city like Maastricht was of course a fantastic experience.
