Apolline Malevez is an art historian and postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, where she is a member of the research group The Inside Story. Art & Interior 1750-1950. Her research project Support Systems: the Hidden Labour behind Art Making (Belgium, 1880-1920) explores relationships which enabled and sustained artists’ work and careers in late-nineteenth-century and early-twentieth-century Belgium. She holds a PhD from Queen’s University Belfast (2022). Her dissertation focused on representations of domestic interiors in Belgium at the end of the 19th century, which she studied from a gender perspective. With Bart Ooghe, Thijs Dekeukeleire and Jonas Roelens, she is the co-curator of the exhibition Queer Belgian Art (1400-1950), which will take place at the Ghent Fine Arts Museum in 2027. She is also contributing to an exhibition on Nele van de Velde, which will take place at the Museum Dr. Guislain (Ghent) in the fall of 2027.
