Adriënne van der Werf (1991, Vlissingen) is a curator, art historian and cultural worker active in both the Netherlands and Belgium. After obtaining a bachelor’s degree in marketing communications, she studied at Ghent University, where she completed a bachelor and master in Art History. She then pursued the postgraduate Curatorial Studies programme at KASK – the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. Since 2018, she has developed research-driven, site-sensitive projects that question the role of autonomous exhibition spaces. Her work often takes place in (semi-)public space and makes use of time-based media. From 2022 to 2024, she worked as (assistant) curator at Vleeshal. Since 2024, she is the artistic coordinator of Nesse, an organisation for the production, development and presentation of contemporary art and design in Terneuzen. She is also co-founder and co-curator of Publiek Park, a nomadic art project taking place in public parks and gardens in Belgium.
