Rosa Wevers is a PhD candidate in Gender Studies. For the project ‘Facing Surveillance: Artistic Strategies in Times of Control’ she analyzes how art exhibitions can make the complex cultural and political implications of surveillance visible and tangible. The project pays specific attention to the ways in which curators and exhibitions create awareness about surveillance-related processes of in- and exclusion. The project is supervised by Prof. dr. Rosemarie Buikema, Prof. dr. Beatrice de Graaf and dr. Evelyn Wan, and is financed by NWO PhD's in the Humanities.
As part of her research, Rosa curated the exhibition 'Face Value: Surveillance and Identity in the Age of Digital Face Recognition', in collaboration with IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture] and the Netherlands Film Festival.
Between 2017 and 2019, Rosa worked at Utrecht University as a teacher in Gender Studies, and as a coordinator of the Gender and Diversity Hub and the Museum of Equality and Difference (MOED).
