Marie-Édith Agostini has a Master of Arts from Rennes University. She received a theater design diploma from the London College of Fashion and an Art History diploma from the Sorbonne in Paris. Having worked as a costume designer in every area of the entertainment industry, she then decided to turn her hand to exhibition curating. For ten years, she managed the temporary exhibitions at the Shoah Memorial in Paris. With contemporary design, she enlightened the readability of the contents using new pathways in the exhibition space. She places transmission and inclusion at the center of her thinking, aiming to offer a personal approach to the visitors, whoever they may be. Therefore, each singular theme is approached with an original and transversal perception to give shape to the narratives, that allow a real contact with audiences. In 2020, she created her own company, agostinisimonneaux, and has continued to work with museum institutions as a freelancer. She is in the process of obtaining a diploma in art therapy.
