Doctoral Defence Charlotte Vanhoubroeck
15:00 - 17:00, Refugiehuis, Hasselt
In her PhD research in the arts 'The Sentimental Jewellery of Louise-Marie d'Orléans. An Artistic Reactivation of Material Memories', Charlotte Vanhoubroeck investigated the lost sentimental jewellery of Louise-Marie d'Orléans, first Queen of Belgium (1812 - 1850). These pieces were worn to preserve memories, and thus once enclosed fragments of Louise's intimate world. Based on (art) historical research and artistic reflection, Charlotte reactivated Louise’s jewellery from a contemporary point of view. In this way, Charlotte constructed an alternative version of the myth of Louise-Marie d'Orléans and reintroduces this almost forgotten queen to the public.
