Hi I’m Iris,

I’m a moderator, presenter and arts & culture contributor.

Through (social) media, I enjoy making art and culture feel a little more accessible. I especially love Black art and artists from Africa and the diaspora, alongside contemporary art and cultural history. Highlighting the people and ideas that inspire me.

You’ll often find me wandering through museums, visiting international art fairs or travelling to discover new cultures. I’m always curious to learn and to share what I discover along the way 🖤

“You can’t be, what you can’t see.” 💫 Bij @shownieuws hadden we een mooi gesprek over @hallebailey die de hoofdrol gaat spelen in The Little Mermaid, het belang van jezelf terug zien in de media en de hartverwarmende viral filmpjes waarin donkere meisjes voor het eerst de trailer zien van deze nieuwe film. Een mooie ontwikkeling wat mij betreft. Wat jij? ♥️ #representationmatters by @irisvanlunenburg

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM ✨ Celebrating 10 years of @museumvoorlinden with director Suzanne Swarts. Really one of my favourite museums for its open and modern approach to art. From Richard Serra’s gorgeous sculpture to this (slightly scary hehe) lifelike boy by Ron Mueck (swipe for scale!) And of course the famous swimming pool. Congratulations! 🥂

FENIX ROTTERDAM | If you know me, you know I can’t resist a museum filled with Black art and the chance to discover artists from across the diaspora. Seeing so many artists and perspectives brought together at FENIX is really special. I could have stayed here all day. Save this for your next museum day in Rotterdam 🖤

FENIX ROTTERDAM | I could have stayed here all day 🖤

If you know me, you know I can’t resist a museum filled with Black art and the chance to discover artists from across the diaspora. Seeing so many artists and perspectives brought together at FENIX is really special. And a museum dedicated to migration feels especially meaningful right now…

Save this for your next museum day in Rotterdam ✨

I love this Ghanaian tradition: celebrating the life someone lived and carrying their story with them into the afterlife

Louis Vuitton may have put them on the runway, but Ghana Must Go bags have a much longer history rooted in migration and West Africa
