Nicole Ex & Sarah Knigge

Nicole Ex is an editor-in-chief, writer and art historian. After years of working in the field of art and magazine publishing including as editor of Dutch culture magazine Hollands Diep, Nicole founded See All This art magazine in 2015; an award winning quarterly print magazine and online platform which serves as a guide to living with art and nature. In 2019 Nicole launched her foundation Pretty Brilliant; an initiative which aimed to shine light on the work of women artists, in which she pledged to create an anthology of work by female artists which would consist of as many pages as the first print of Janson’s History of Art (the first print of which contained zero women). Nicole has built a constant readership through her work with See All This, in part due to her Wednesday morning columns which give a personal glimpse into her life always through the lens of art.

Sarah Knigge first walked through the doors of See All This Art Magazine as an intern on issue #5—and never left. Eight years and 33 issues later, she’s now the magazine’s managing editor, working closely with editor-in-chief Nicole Ex and an ever-changing lineup of inspiring guest curators. With a background in art history and editing, she is involved in the curation and coordination of issues that explore themes at the intersection of life and art — lately, taking a deep dive into the goddesses and archetypes that shaped history.

Lidewij Edelkoort

Co-Founder World Hope Forum

Li Edelkoort is a trend forecaster, publisher, humanitarian, design educator and exhibition curator. From 2015-2020 she was the Dean of Hybrid Design Studies at Parsons in New York where she founded a Textile Masters and the New York Textile Month festival. Her thought-provoking writings and podcasts have become increasingly popular at a time when she is regarded as an activist and champion for change. In 2020, she co-founded the World Hope Forum with Philip Fimmano as a platform to inspire the creative community to rebuild a better society. Launched in 2020, PROUD SOUTH is a mesmerising visual book that celebrates the creative forces from the southern parts of the planet. Through the colourful and expressive lens of contemporary fashion, photography, styling and art, Edelkoort and Lili Tedde bring together emerging and established talents from wide and far, illustrating that the axis of global creativity has indeed dramatically shifted. In 2025, Edelkoort is launching a second edition of PROUD SOUTH focusing on craft and design. Of the movement, she says, “A southern generation of creatives is standing up, expressing local craft, embracing regional materials, recognising ancestral practices and cherishing indigenous values.”
