Johanna Sentef is an anthropologist and digital curator with a background in science and technology studies. Her work encompasses object-based research, with particular attention to (non)-human actors as mediators in museums, digital infrastructures for cultural heritage, and the epistemic and institutional implications of digitality in arts and culture.

She teaches at Goethe University and has worked in collection coordination since October 2024. She developed DOLCE, an online platform that teaches people how to work with digital collections and databases. From 2021 to 2023, she worked as a curatorial assistant and co-curator at Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden. In 2024, she joined the board of SUSTAIN, a group within the International Committee for Museums and Sustainable Development (ICOM).

Begüm Inal is a project manager and research associate in the DFG-funded project “The Digital Archive of the Städelschule, 1920–1950” at the Städelschule Academy of Fine Arts. She works at the intersection of archival practice, digital humanities, and art history, and is responsible for the cross-collection cataloging and digitization of heterogeneous archival materials, as well as the development of digital workflows to consolidate dispersed collections.

Her work focuses on digital provenance research, data interoperability, and the critical examination of historical records from the period 1920–1950, including documents from the Nazi era. She reflects on the formation of institutional archives and asks: Which perspectives are missing, what was deliberately archived or omitted, and how is discriminatory language in historical documents addressed?

Historian Michael Lenarz studied at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt from 1976 to 1981. After working as a research assistant at the Technical University of Braunschweig, where he focused on medieval French history, he joined the Jewish Museum in Frankfurt in 1985. There, he initially worked as a freelancer and research assistant before serving as deputy director from 2012 to 2022. He is now a freelance scholar with a focus on the legacy of German Jewry, which was destroyed in the Shoah.

As a curator and scholar, he conceived and produced numerous publications and exhibitions at the Jewish Museum, including those on the history and documentation of the older Jewish cemeteries in Offenbach and Frankfurt.
