Toni Suarez Bergmann, intern

Toni Suarez Bergmann completed her bachelor’s degree in museology at HTW Berlin in May 2024. During her studies, she focused in particular on theoretical concepts that are important for working in museums. These include collecting, preserving, documenting, inventorying, researching, mediating, exhibiting and managing collection objects. Her studies covered a broad spectrum of museum activities, from art history and museum management to curating exhibitions. Building on this, she will begin a master’s degree in art history at the TU Berlin in October 2024.

Outside of her studies, her interest in the art and culture scene has grown in recent years. She also works in the canteen of the Komische Oper and for the Böckler-Mare-Balticum Foundation. Through her work at the Böckler-Mare-Balticum-Stiftung, a small foundation dedicated to researching and communicating the art and cultural history of the Baltic Sea countries, especially the Baltic states, she has been able to gain valuable practical insights into the promotion of art studies.

Toni is particularly fascinated by the biographies and work of female* artists. During her studies, she was introduced to many artists, but very few female* artists. This experience frustrated her, which is why she is particularly pleased to be able to work for the visibility of female* artists through the internship at Goldrausch. Through the internship, she hopes to gain a deeper insight into the art scene, especially through the exchange with the artists.

Emilie van Zandbergen, intern

Emilie van Zandbergen completed her Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Groningen (NL) in summer 2024. Within this interdisciplinary study program, she set her personal focus on the intersection of art and social issues. Emilie intensively explored the role of art as a political tool and pursued a queerfeminist approach in her projects.

Having gained initial experience in curating and project work in the arts and culture sector, particularly as part of the ‘Arts in Health’ study project, where she integrated an artwork into a previously unused space and focussed on how this space can trigger well-being and calmness in its visitors, Emilie is motivated to further develop her knowledge. Emilie sees her involvement with Goldrausch as an opportunity to expand her knowledge of art and curating through deeper insights into mediation and networking, in a context that creates structural improvements and promotes the visibility of underrepresented female artists – a cause she wants to actively support.

In her free time, Emilie enjoys going to flea markets and doing contemporary dance.
