what we do

*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.

*hadithi partners with NGOs, cultural institutions and community-based organisations to develop narrative and creative work that supports visibility, trust and impact

Services include:

  • Storytelling & Narrative Design
    Shaping organisational experiences, testimonies and histories into compelling, accessible narratives.
  • Documentary Work & Visual Narratives
    Interviews, photographic documentation and multimodal storytelling.
  • Editorial, Translation & Publication Support
    Multilingual editing (EN/FR/NL), copywriting, publication structuring and narrative consultation.
  • Curatorial & Creative Projects
    Exhibitions, artistic collaborations, contextual research and culturally grounded narrative framing.
  • Workshops & Ethical Story Practice Training
    Capacity-building for teams documenting sensitive contexts (care, disability, education, social work).

Why *hadithi?

*hadithi works with people, not about them. This means:

  • deep listening
  • respect for lived experience
  • 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.
