Nadia Babazia
Migration and stories are a common thread in the life of Nadia Babazia. As a sociologist and anthropologist, she has been working for 15 years at the Red Star Line Museum focusing on participation and outreach.
Through various projects, exhibitions, and collaborations, she explores with people how stories can empower and heal, and how museums can become safer and braver spaces in the life trajectories of individuals with migration backgrounds. She also worked for nearly 10 years at Ella vzw on intersectional thinking and empowerment & participation of women with migration backgrounds. Nadia incorporated her family's migration story and feelings of homesickness into the children's book 'Grandma's Suitcases' together with illustrator Laura Muls, published by Studio Sesam.
