Susanne Niemann is a Master of Arts student in Global African Studies at The Africa Institute, Global Studies University, specializing in Museum and Critical Heritage Studies. Originally from Germany, she brings a background in Interactive Media Arts and Anthropology, with professional and research experience in cultural ecosystems, urban practices, and cultural advisory work in the UAE and Germany. Her research investigates how art, cultural institutions, and shared spaces contribute to community formation, identity, and memory, particularly in post-conflict and rapidly transforming societies. She focuses on North Africa, examining the practices and networks of cultural institutions both within the region and across diasporic and transnational contexts. Her work engages urban anthropology, the anthropology of space, and cultural relations, with particular attention to how cultural spaces operate as sites of social repair, collective discourse, and heritage preservation.
