Stephanie has collaborated with HipHopHuis, the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, De Bijenkorf, Mama Cash Feminist Festival, State of Fashion and the Van Gogh Museum. She has frequently participated in public debates and prime-time talk shows, discussing art, community and culture. A career highlight was her interview with renowned artist and filmmaker Ai Weiwei for De Wereld Draait Door.

Celestial Space
Through her personal project Celestial Space, she explores how people of colour experience public spaces, interviewing them about where they feel safe or unsafe and which aspects of an environment contribute to these feelings.
She aims to create a space at the intersection of visual art, architecture, philosophy and empirical research, awakening a sense of connection with oneself and others while fostering a much-needed sense of collective intimacy and vulnerability.
