Light on Leiden

Diana van den Driessche (Rotterdam, 1957) moved to Leiden in 1977 to study psychology. Ten years later, she became a citizen of Leiden, and when she graduated at Leiden University, following tradition she signed her name on one of the walls of the so-called 'zweetkamertje' (the sweat room) inside the Academy building. After her studies she worked many years as a researcher and scholar. In 2005 she started a blog for de Volkskrant, wrote about her passion for arts and cultures and photographed all-day beauty. As a journalist she wrote for Leids Nieuwsblad, De Leidse Stijl and Leiden.nu as well as working on commissions for the Rotterdam Theatre. She has been following the theatre company PS|theater and the international music and theatre ensemble De Veenfabriek. Diana wants to share with others her love of Leiden, and get the message across that while Leiden is a city of exceptional beauty - laden with history and tradition - it is also bubbling with contemporary life. 'Light on Leiden' is her first book.
