EN | Yasmin Van ’tveld (°1989) studied Art History at Ghent University and Contemporary Art Theory at Goldsmiths, University of London. She has gained experience as an art historian and curator specialising in contemporary arts, having worked for institutions such as Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens and Axel Vervoordt Gallery. In 2018, she transitioned to full-time freelancing, focusing on writing, editing, and communication. Since then, she has been crafting exhibition texts and interviews, editing (art) books, and polishing the writings of others.

Since 2016, she has been the curator and one of the editors at Kluger Hans – a literary magazine actively seeking out emerging writers (poetry, prose, essay), known for its appreciation of visual art and design. Taking on the role of editor-in-chief at Kluger Hans in 2018 further solidified her commitment to the publication.

Guest lecturer in Writing and Editing at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp for Woordkunst students since 2024.

From 2022 to 2023, she pursued further studies in literary translation from English to Dutch. She has also been the communications manager of the art collective playField. since 2021, of Folio vzw since 2022, and of aifoon since 2024.

Alongside her freelancing work, YV’t is a board member of Folio vzw (2021-now) and VONK & Zonen (2023-now), and has been a juror for Dans! Dichter! Dans! since 2022. She has been a member of the feminist collective Hyster-x since 2022.

that my first “publication” dates back to 1999? (I was almost ten years old at the time.) It was a short story about a rabbit, and it appeared in Het vliegende kind (“The Flying Child”), a collection of stories by children who won a competition held among several schools. (Though I won’t pretend that reading this story is worth your time.)
