Wereld Creativiteit en Innovatie Dag / World Creativity and Innovation Day 2026
Wereld Creativiteit en Innovatie Dag (WCID ) werd in 2001 opgericht door de Canadese Marci Segal, zij had het idee dat in die tijd men bij het woord creativiteit alleen maar aan kunst dacht.
Creativiteit gebruiken bij oplossen van problemen leek toentertijd dom, lichtzinnig en tijdverspilling

420 / Marihuana Dag / Marijuana Day 2026
Onder de cannabisgebruik
Sinds de jaren ’70 een terugkerende traditie om op deze dag samen met vrienden openlijk een joint op te steken en je vooral niets aan trekken van de landelijke wetgeving omtrent het gebruik van cannabis. De Global Marijuana March (GMM) is een reeks activiteiten die jaarlijks onder verschillende namen over de hele wereld plaatsvindt. De activiteiten omvatten demonstraties, discussiebijeenkomsten, concerten en festivals. Het centrale thema is de cannabiscultuur. Sinds de eerste Million Marijuana March (MMM). De bijeenkomsten vinden tevens plaats onder de namen World Cannabis Day, Cannabis Liberation Day, Global Space Odyssey, Ganja Day, J Day, Million Blunts March. Sinds 2018 is er in Nederland géén versie meer van de Global Marijuana March.

United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues UNPFII Session 2026
The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII or PFII) is the UN’s central coordinating body for matters relating to the concerns and rights of the world’s indigenous peoples.
There are more than 370 million indigenous people (also known as native, original, aboriginal and first peoples) in some 70 countries worldwide. The forum was created on 28 July 2000 by resolution 2000/22, as an outcome of the UN’s International Year for the World’s Indigenous People in 1993, within the first International Decade of the World’s Indigenous People (1995–2004). It is an advisory body within the framework of the United Nations System that reports to the UN‘s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). More specifically, the Permanent Forum:
- provides expert advice and recommendations on Indigenous issues to the Council, as well as to programmes, funds and agencies of the United Nations, through ECOSOC;
- raises awareness and promotes the integration and coordination of activities related to Indigenous issues within the UN system;
- prepares and disseminates information on Indigenous issues;
- promotes respect for and full application of the provisions of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and follow up the effectiveness of this Declaration (Art. 42 UNDRIP).
The first meeting of the Permanent Forum was held in May 2002, with yearly sessions thereafter. The Forum usually meets for 10 days each year, at the UN Headquarters in New York. According to the ECOSOC resolution E/2000/22, the Forum may also meet at the UN Office in Geneva or at such other place that it decides. In addition to the six mandated areas (economic and social development, culture, the environment, education, health and human rights), each session is thematically focused on a specific issue. The Permanent Forum is one of three UN bodies that is mandated to deal specifically with Indigenous Peoples’ issues. The others are the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Permanent Forum’s engagement and role in promoting Indigenous Peoples’ rights are made possible through the Trust Fund on Indigenous Issues, which overall facilitates follow-up to the Forum’s recommendations, awareness raising and outreach on Indigenous issues as well as representation and participation of Permanent Forum members at international meetings of significance for its mandate. In addition, the Trust Fund provides support for the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. DESA is charged with the overall management of the Trust Fund, which is placed under the Indigenous Peoples and Development Branch-Secretariat of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. 2026 Theme: “Ensuring Indigenous Peoples’ health, including in the context of conflict”

Pavel Krisevich: Russian Prison Art
Artist Pavel Krisevich was held in Russia’s prison system for 3,5 years after staging performance art in support of political prisoners in Russia. Last year, Krisevich was released and will now speak at De Balie.
The performance art of Pavel Krisevich is as spectacular as it is fearless. He tied himself to a large cross like a Jesus figure in front of the headquarters of the FSB, Russia’s secret service, with a burning bonfire of files of political prisoners beneath him. In 2021, Krisevich staged a suicide on Red Square in Moscow to draw attention to the abominable situation of political prisoners in Russia. It earned him a five-year prison sentence. From his cell, Krisevich bravely continued making art; using his own blood as material, he portrayed the bleak life in prison. Work from this series was previously shown at De Balie during the exhibition Artists Against the Kremlin. At De Balie, Krisevich will speak about the power of art as resistance against an all-dominating system. He is joined by journalist Paul Alexander, whose new book ‘Bloed, as en tandpasta’ portrays the life of political prisoners in Russia’s penal system through Krisevich’s prison art. How does the current prison system resemble the Soviet Camps? And what drives the political prisoners in their virtually hopeless struggle against an all-powerful regime?
It is currently not yet certain whether Pavel Krisevich will be able to attend this program. Krisevich stays in Montenegro. The Dutch state is, at present, unwilling to grant him a visa, out of concern that he might apply for asylum. De Balie strongly protests against the refusal of the Dutch government to grant an artist a temporary visa.
