Bermuda Open Studios 5th edition (18-19 April 2026)

Bermuda Open Studios 5th edition (18-19 April 2026)

Bermuda Open Studios returns for its fifth edition! This April, over 140 artists and collectives will open their studios across more than 20 locations in The Hague, including three group exhibitions.

For one weekend, working spaces become open doors, offering a rare encounter with art in the making. Visitors will find artists surrounded by their sketches, works in progress, and finished pieces: from 3D-printed sculptures to immersive videos, and works on textile to large scale drawings. This is the “in-between”, an unpolished space where inspiration takes form. What tools do they use? What ideas and insights have shaped their work? Bermuda Open offers an up-close, personal look at the creative process in all its complexity.

The artists will be present throughout the weekend, available to talk about their work, their methods, and the ideas that drive them.

Dates: 18–19 April 2026

Time: 11:00–18:00

Locations: Free entry to over 22 locations across The Hague

Visit bermudaopen.studio for more information.

Dying to Talk: The Mindful Caregiver @ The Hague Natural Health Centre (20 April 2026)

Dying to Talk: The Mindful Caregiver @ The Hague Natural Health Centre (20 April 2026)

Topic: Dying & the Mindful Caregiver

Dates: April 20 & July 8

In this second instalment of our mindful workshop series on death, we continue our exploration of end-of-life preparation and the path of the mindful caregiver.

True mindfulness and self-compassion are the two pillars of a stool that becomes complete only when contemplation meets action. This evening, Amanda will discuss the evolving roles of both the dying person and the family caregiver, exploring how these dynamics shift as illness and death progress. This workshop is equally valuable for professional caregivers or those aspiring to the field, offering a “dance” toward clarity, connection, and completion when everyone involved receives the support they need.

Through poetry, guided meditation, and open discussion, we will empower you to:

  • Integrate Mindfulness: Use daily awareness as a foundation for caregiving.
  • Practice Self-Compassion: Build resilience within the caregiving environment.
  • Navigate Palliative Care: Understand the nuances and benefits as care transitions toward hospice.
  • Support the Spirit: Gain insight into the mental and spiritual needs of those at the end of life.

Doing Good in the Age of Big Tech and Declining Democracy @ TU Delft Campus The Hague (17 April 2026)

Doing Good in the Age of Big Tech and Declining Democracy @ TU Delft Campus The Hague (17 April 2026)

As the power of Big Tech continues to shape our economies, democracies, and everyday lives, urgent questions arise: who benefits, who decides, and what kind of future are we building?

On 17 April, the Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies (ESDiT) programme invites you to an afternoon of critical reflection and open dialogue on the societal impact of large technology companies and the possibilities for change.

Bringing together leading thinkers from philosophy, policy, and civil society, this public event offers a space to step back from day-to-day debates and engage more deeply with the values and structures shaping our technological world.

The programme features keynote lectures by two prominent philosophers:
 Prof. Alice Crary (The New School of Social Research, NY), who examines how certain ways of thinking can unintentionally legitimise Big AI, and Prof.  Ingrid Robeyns (Utrecht University), who reflects on what responsible philanthropy should look like in an unequal world.

Their contributions set the stage for a panel discussion on “Democratic Pathways beyond Big Tech: Redirecting the role of technology for public good” bringing together experts from academia, advisory bodies, and civil society to explore concrete ways forward.

The afternoon concludes with an interactive co-creation session and informal networking, offering participants the opportunity not only to reflect, but also to contribute ideas and connect with others working on these challenges.

We invite you to take part in a timely conversation about how technology can better serve democratic societies and the public good.

Date: 17 April

Time: 13:00-17:00

Location: TU Delft, Campus 5, The Hague

Attendance is free. Secure your place by registering here: Doing Good in the Age of Big Tech and Declining Democracy – ESDIT
