Overwritten by the dramatic events of the Second World War, the complex and ambiguous history of Luxembourg during WW1 has suffered from a general indifference and disregard from both historians and local population.
The initiatives for the Great War centennial have offered an unprecedented chance to re-engage with this period both at an academic and at a political level. Born as a collaboration between the University of Luxembourg and the Ministry of State, the digital exhibition project Éischte Weltkrich: Remembering the Great War in Luxembourg, addresses multiple audiences in the rediscovery of an era still largely unexplored and neglected.

She has been awarded a Masters in Museum Anthropology and a PhD in Anthropology from UCL (University College London), specialising in visual culture and in the history of photography. She is currently involved in a digital history project developing a virtual exhibition on the Great War in Luxembourg.
