Ronit Eden is an independent curator living and working in Amsterdam. She holds a degree in design and architecture. Since 1989 she has worked as an interior architect, and as an exhibition designer for major museums in Israel and the Netherlands.

As of the last twenty years, she has been curating and producing exhibitions about contemporary art in and around the Netherlands. She is especially interested in art that incorporates historical and cultural events that shape political identity. She also curates exhibitions that integrate discussions and exhibitions that question the museum’s role in creating personal identity and community affiliation.

In addition, she prepared and guided research trips into the art scene of Israel/Palestinian society with more than 65 professionals from the Dutch art scene.

With her experience in both design and curating, she teaches workshops about the relationships between space and objects, for students of Art and Architecture. In these courses they explore through practical and theoretical exercises from  the core learning experience.

She is a member of IKT, International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art
