Faces of Trade Diplomacy: Human perceptions, memories and hopes around trade multilateralism

Faces of Trade Diplomacy centres on making global trade diplomacy more relatable. While trade is perceived as highly technical, the exhibition wishes to reveal the more human elements of trade negotiations. By bringing personal stories, memories and hopes of trade diplomats to an audience, it seeks to build a connection between those that negotiate global trading rules and the more general public.

Faces of Trade Diplomacy builds on Clara Weinhardt’s research. The project is made possible by funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG, grant number WE 6012/2-1) and from a “Valorisatie” Stimulation Fund from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Maastricht University.
