Is originally from the Czech Republic. She studied Humanities and Liberal Arts at Charles University in Prague and just finished a Master’s degree at Maastricht University in the field of Arts & Heritage. In Prague she worked for several art institutions like the National Gallery, DOX Centre for Contemporary Art or Kampa Museum, primarily for their education departments with a focus on audience development. In 2011 she did an internship at Non-fiction. During this period she developed a weblog showing extra-muros projects of (art) museums, together with the Stedelijk Museum. She joined the team in October 2011 and immediately doubled the number of IQ points at the office.
It’s time to say goodbye to Adela, our former superstar intern who became our CIO. She is returning to the Czech Republic to become the first female president of the country, only after establishing the Non-fiction Eastern Europe HQ in Prague.

Siri Driessen studied Cultural Analysis and History at the University of Amsterdam, and Fine Arts at ArtEZ Arnhem. She focused on photography, nineteenth-century cultural history, and new media. She presented essays about mapping, new media and network culture at the New School University and the Medialab Prado in Madrid. Furthermore, she worked for the Prince Claus Fund, where she edited a three-monthly publication that aimed to connect the archive of the fund to the present.
Siri was interviewed by Adéla who received a very similar set of questions a year ago when she started her Non-fiction career. Using the same questions for every new intern can provide an interesting pallet of opinions on Non-fiction and our practices and help us to understand what we really do.
