Brigitte Herremans

Short Bio:

Brigitte Herremans is a FWO postdoctoral researcher at Justice Visions and a research fellow at GrounDoc. Her current research project examines how informal documentation efforts, including artistic practices, advance the pursuit of justice related to enforced disappearance in Syria. More broadly, her research looks into the relation between arts and justice in the Syrian and Palestinian contexts and explores the potential of artistic practices to counter the erasure and invisibilisation of injustices.

In her doctoral research project, Brigitte investigated the potential of artistic practices to ‘open up’ the justice imagination in the Syrian context. Brigitte studied Eastern Languages and Cultures at Ghent University and International Relations at l’Université Libre de Bruxelles.
