A library curator and staff member of the National Library of France (https://www.bnf.fr/en), Céline Leclaire has developed skills in collection management, children’s literature, and digital technologies applied to library resources and services (especially artificial intelligence, within the AI4LAM Community : https://sites.google.com/view/ai4lam/home).
She has the opportunity to spend a couple of weeks at the MFO in the autumn of 2024 to explore Oxford’s libraries, new relationships between researchers, artists and technologies, and special ways to put cultural artefacts in perspective for children.
Her stay at Oxford is also intended to be a creative residency. She hopes to benefit from an ideal environment for writing and drawing, inspired by prominent British artists and the city's colourful spirit.
