Color & Koló: Expressions
of Cuba and Curaçao is an exhibition of new work by the local
artist, which explores the two Caribbean island countries of Cuba and
Curaçao. A mix of indigenous heritage and colonial rule have uniquely
influenced and shaped the history and architectural landscape of these
countries over the centuries. Although both islands are categorically
Caribbean, they are almost 2,000 km away from each other and have
evolved culturally, socioeconomically, politically, and architecturally
into two very distinct identities. A treatise on Caribbean colour, Color
& Koló (the respective Spanish and Papiamentu translation of
'colour'), contrasts the popular northern Caribbean's Spanish
influenced Cuban landmarks against the tranquility of the southern
Caribbean's Dutch influenced Antillean landscape.
