*hadithi’s methodology
is grounded in the original meaning of the word curator — from the Latin curare, to take care. This idea, central to Edith’s long curatorial practice (Parbleu, edprojects, Bureau Doove), shapes a way of working that is:
- attentive
- relational
- ethical
- collaborative
- grounded in generosity
Over three decades, Edith has developed a body of work in Belgium, the UK, France and recently East Africa, which brings together art, research and care. From directing exhibitions and curatorial programmes to collaborating on community-based projects, she has consistently explored how creativity can reveal, honour and support human experience.

Why *hadithi?
*hadithi works with people, not about them. This means:
- deep listening

- cultural awareness and contextual sensitivity
- refusal of extractive or exploitative storytelling
- long-term relational collaboration
Edith’s international experience — Belgium, the UK, France, Tanzania, Indonesia (online), Myanmar (online) — allows her to navigate complex intercultural environments and support organisations incommunicating with nuance, accuracy and creativity.
