| Painting by Lorraine Rosalia |
Riffort Renaissance Curacao Resort &
Casino in
collaboration with Mon Art Gallery and Kas di Kultura is
currently exhibiting a selection of paintings from 'Anansi Masters'. Curaçao artists include Wendell
Tielman, Lorraine Rosalia, Joan van Leeuwen, Merly Trappenberg,
Nataly Pas and Morgaine Parris, as well as students of the Adriana Academy. The
clever spider packs a moral punch and made its way to three different
continents (Europe, Africa, Americas) over the past few centuries. Jean
Hellwig's Anansi Masters aims to connect these continents through their
Anansi (or Kweku Ananse or Kompa Nanzi, Ananansa, even Aunt Nancy) stories. His
website includes recordings of over 50 Kompa Nanzi stories - in Twi, Papiamentu
and Dutch - keeping this oral tradition alive in our digital age.
