Meet the jury:

– Daniëlle van Zuijlen
Daniëlle van Zuijlen is curator and co-founder of Kunsthal Gent, where she helps shape a collaborative, non-hierarchical arts programme. Her work supports collective and transdisciplinary practices at the intersection of art, public space and society. With over 20 years of experience in the international cultural field, she focuses on new forms of artistic and social collaboration. She also serves on the boards of Kunstenpunt, Nesse Terneuzen and Platform 0090, and is co-curator of the 2026 Watou Arts Festival.

– Yemo Park
Yemo Park is a Korean artist based in Belgium, working through fictional companies that critique economic systems, labour structures and artistic autonomy. Her practice blends sculpture, performance and storytelling, often through playful and absurd business models. Projects include Dogs Die, Love Doesn’t, Grand Tool Supply, and Spit-Spirit, among others. With humour and sharp insight, she questions the invisible forces shaping work and value in society.

– Alicja Melzacka
Alicja Melzacka is a curator and writer, and co-founder of celador, a collectively-run project space exploring the role of language in art. Her curatorial work spans text, sound, and narrative structures, often taking the form of experimental exhibitions. She has collaborated with institutions across Europe, and her writing appears in catalogues and art journals including HART, KAJET and Kunsthalle Wien. She also teaches at LUCA School of Arts and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.

– Willem Oorebeek
Willem Oorebeek is a Dutch artist based in Brussels, known for his conceptual engagement with print media and mass communication. His practice focuses on how images circulate, repeat and influence public perception in a visual culture dominated by spectacle. Through layered printing techniques, he deconstructs and recontextualises found imagery. Oorebeek’s work has been widely exhibited internationally, including at WIELS, S.M.A.K. and the Venice Biennale.
