Liberation Festival 2026: Learning to Understand History
Join the Celebration on 5 May! Each year, the Netherlands marks Liberation Day with festivals across the country, drawing crowds to major cities. In The Hague, the heart of the celebration beats at Malieveld—a free, open-air festival for everyone.
KABK Spotlight: Art & Freedom
This year, the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) presents two compelling installations by alumni:
· Akash Kumar invites you to Fold Your Story, an interactive experience where you can craft and share your personal story of freedom.
· Kamau Nganga explores identity and society through installations that examine how “normal” behavior is shaped by culture and performance.
The Student Experience
These works are part of The Student Experience, a collaborative platform at the Malieveld where The Hague’s educational institutions unite to celebrate student talent, creativity, and community. Together, they highlight how students enrich the city’s vibrancy and bring the spirit of freedom to life.
Don’t miss it—be part of the celebration!
