Since 2002, Lauwers first worked as expo coordinator in Bozar, and in 2011 she became director of exhibitions. Without a management background, but with a heart for art, she emerged as director of the arts centre in November 2021.
"Art offers a different perspective on today's debates. With imagination, with daring to dream, you can achieve concrete things. For me, that is a powerful starting point.
