I am not a morning person.
When CreativeMornings launched in The Hague last year, I was very happy to promote its events through The Hague Online. A free breakfast, an interesting speaker and the chance to meet creative people from across the city all sounded wonderful.
There was just one problem as far as I was concerned: the morning part.
The events begin at 8.30am. That is hardly dawn, but it was early enough for me to appreciate CreativeMornings from a safe distance. I could share the announcements, support the initiative and tell any “morning people” who may be interested, without actually setting my own alarm to fit this in before my workday started.
Eventually, however, curiosity won…and I’m now a CreativeMornings morning person. Are you?
My first CreativeMornings, at THUAS (12 June 2026)
My first CreativeMornings event featured Bente Bak speaking on the theme of “Curate”.
It was held at THUAS (The Hague University of Applied Sciences), where I work. I found out after I registered that it was actually taking place within my own Faculty of IT & Design, though connected via another programme (I’m in ACS, this was via UxD). A nice coincidence.
Bente’s talk explored curation as an active creative process. It is not simply about collecting things, but about choosing, shaping and bringing ideas together in a way that creates meaning. She complemented this with her own creative artwork and personal stories.
Much of what she said resonated with me, particularly in a world where we are surrounded by more information, tools and content than we could ever fully absorb.
I like how these personal talks also help us self-reflect. I have contributed to this overload myself as well, via a lot of content creation over the years! However, I am glad I had already started seeing myself as a “curator”, rather than always being a “creator”. I believe it’s about discernment: deciding what deserves our attention, how different elements connect and what we want to share with others. More than a decade ago, I wrote an article that I’ve been thinking more about lately: Frenzy, Fatigue, Focus.
It was really great to hear Bente’s take on this topic. She gave us some great tips and I bought her book to take home. A good read! I was particularly inspired by her courage to find her own path – and share that with others.
The CreativeMornings event locations change each month, and this location also added something unexpected to the morning. I met colleagues from my own faculty whom I recognised but did not yet know well. We work within the same organisation, but it took an external community event in our own building to give us the opportunity to (re)connect.
That is one of the valuable things about community events. They not only introduce us to entirely new people. They can also help us connect more meaningfully with people who were already nearby.
And, importantly, I discovered that 8.30am was not quite as frightening as I had imagined. Especially when it came with a great breakfast spread, a fantastically diverse group of people and a lot of inspiration.
Returning to The Social Hub (10 July 2026)
My second CreativeMornings event featured the amazing animator and visual artist Vera van Wolferen, speaking on the theme of “Competition”. Vera used her own creative work and experiences to explore competition, comparison and ambition. The theme opened up questions not only about competing with other people, but also about creative identity, expectations and the pressure we place on ourselves. You can watch her talk and see her impressive work here:
The event took place at one of my favourite venues in The Hague – The Social Hub regularly brings together internationals, local residents, entrepreneurs, students, creatives and organisations through talks, workshops, networking events and cultural activities. As always, it was good to catch up with community connector Pawl.
The Social Hub is also where the first CreativeMornings The Hague gathering had been held a year earlier. I had heard about the initiative there when the local chapter first launched, but had not persuaded myself to attend that original morning event, sadly. But at least I didn’t wait any longer!
One year of CreativeMornings The Hague
At the July event, CreativeMornings The Hague celebrated its first anniversary. Ana Moreno reflected on the journey and gave credit to the team of volunteers and community members who have helped grow this community. Then we shared cake! I mean of all the things I was missing out on by not getting up earlier, I didn’t realise cake could be one of them.
During its first year, the chapter has organised free monthly events at different locations around the city, with speakers interpreting a shared global theme through their own work, experiences and perspectives.
The changing venues are part of the appeal. Each event provides an opportunity not only to hear from a new speaker, but also to discover various organisations, workplaces and creative spaces in The Hague. The August event will be held at the Make In Space on 14 August 2026.
The local chapter is organised by volunteers and is part of a much larger international network. CreativeMornings began in New York in 2008, when designer Tina Roth Eisenberg created a simple format for the city’s creative community: a free breakfast and a short talk, held on a Friday morning.
The idea has since developed into a global movement, with chapters in cities around the world. Each month, participating chapters explore the same theme while selecting local speakers who can bring their own interpretation to it. Community members also have an opportunity to book a short slot to share their initiatives as well.
Although the word “creative” is in the name, the events are not only for artists or designers. Creativity can be found in education, technology, business, community building, communication and many other fields.
The CreativeMornings manifesto begins with the belief that everyone is creative and everyone is welcome. That open approach is reflected in the variety of people, professions and perspectives brought together at the events.
More than a monthly breakfast
The live events are only one part of CreativeMornings.
Presentations are recorded and made available online afterwards, which means people can watch talks from The Hague as well as thousands of talks from chapters around the world.
That also means missing an event does not necessarily mean missing the speaker, although watching afterwards cannot fully reproduce the conversations and connections that happen in the room.
CreativeMornings also organises online FieldTrips. These are interactive virtual sessions that can include workshops, practical activities, conversations and opportunities to learn from people based in different parts of the world.
The combination of local gatherings and international online resources makes CreativeMornings more than a monthly event series. It is also a large and accessible archive of ideas, stories and creative practices.
Worth setting the alarm for
After attending two events, I still would not describe myself as a natural morning person. But I may now be a CreativeMornings morning person.
The start time is not actually as early as I had convinced myself it was. It is a little easier in the summer than the winter…but most importantly, the events offer something that is increasingly difficult to reproduce online: a reason to enter a room, meet people outside your usual circle and begin the day with a new idea.
At THUAS, that meant getting to know colleagues better at a fun and friendly event before our work day “really” began – thanks Wendy and Thijs!
At The Social Hub, it meant returning to the place where I had first heard about CreativeMornings The Hague and again experiencing the community I had been promoting for the past year.
Apparently, all it takes to get me out of bed earlier in the morning – and actually enjoy it – is coffee, creativity and community. And sometimes cake. See you there?

Inspired by the historical Gobelin Room in Kunstmuseum Den Haag, artist Natasja Kensmil has completed a contemporary mural entitled Allegory of Glaciers in one of the museum’s monumental stairwells. By commissioning this piece from Kensmil, the museum is carrying on the tradition of inviting artists to create works in its stairwells, thereby entering into an artistic exchange with the building and the collection.
ALLEGORY OF GLACIERS
Natasja Kensmil has transformed the stairwell into a world of melting glacial landscapes in which mythology and reality merge and commingle. Like a pinboard covered in old postcards, the panoramas elicit memories. The scenes were inspired by archival images of glaciers, pages from medieval manuscripts and fragments of historical maps. This is Kensmil’s way of underscoring glaciers’ vital role as natural archives in which the history of our planet is documented.
Kensmil has approached the stairwell as a continuous ‘painting’ consisting of multiple separate paintings and drawings on canvas, hung independently, across which the mural unfolds. The canvases emphasize the various illusions of depth created in the work by the architecture of the space. The whole brings together drawing and painting: sinuous drawn lines and painted fields of colour alternate with and flow into one another. At times, drawing comes to the fore, while at other moments the painterly gesture emerges. The result is a layered image which further strengthens the spatial illusion created by the mural.
GOBELIN ROOM
Kensmil also drew inspiration for her mural from the historical period rooms in the Kunstmuseum. These 17th and 18th-century interiors are a permanent part of the museum building. Today, these rooms offer a glimpse into the lives of the Dutch elite who were responsible for governing the country and the regions colonized by the Netherlands. Various imagery and decorative motifs from the period rooms are echoed in this stairwell. The Gobelin Room in particular was a vital source of inspiration. In this 1710 reception room, the tapestries woven by Alexander Baert form a backdrop consisting of an imaginary wooded landscape populated by water elements and exotic birds. Overhead, the Roman goddesses of wisdom and justice (Minerva and Justitia, respectively) float across the painted ceiling.
DYING GLACIERS
Rather than an idyllic green paradise, Kensmil has depicted a melting landscape of ice and snow. She expands the mythological pantheon with various nature goddesses connected to this threatened world. Pachamana, from Incan culture, is the goddess of Mother Earth. The Inuit revere Sedna, the mother of the sea. Lastly, Kensmil depicts Pele, the volcano goddess of Hawai’i, where glaciers once existed as well – thereby pointing out the vanishing nature of these areas. As a result of climate change, industrialization and colonization, the original inhabitants are losing the homelands they have traditionally associated with divine forces.
In order to create space for Kensmil’s new work, the mural by Günter Tuzina has been temporarily covered up by experts. Earlier this year, and at the museum’s request, Hadassah Emmerich created a mural entitled Petals Pulp Papaya Plunge in another stairwell. Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum is scheduled to complete the last in the series of three new murals this summer.
FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM
Allegory of Glaciers has been made possible in part thanks to a generous contribution from the Society of Friends of Kunstmuseum Den Haag. With this gift in honour of the Society’s 160th anniversary, its members have invested in the continuation of this special museum tradition.
ABOUT NATASJA KENSMIL
Natasja Kensmil (1973) lives and works in Amsterdam and has been active in the arts for over 20 years. She trained at the Vrije Tekenacademie, the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Ateliers, all of which are located in Amsterdam. Major themes in Natasja Kensmil’s work include the dark sides of the Netherlands’ colonial past, religion, mysticism and mythology. Her work as been displayed in Andriesse Eyck Gallery (Amsterdam), the Royal Hibernian Academy (Dublin) and the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington), among others, and has been acquired by collections such as the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), Kunstmuseum Den Haag and the Dallas Museum of Art (USA). Kensmil was awarded the Johannes Vermeer Award in 2021, with the jury praising her work as ‘healing, constructive and critical’.
This project has been made possible in part by the Municipality of The Hague, VriendenLoterij, the Society of Friends of Kunstmuseum Den Haag (Vereniging Vrienden van Kunstmuseum Den Haag) and the Mondriaan Fund.
