Yeshua Tjie-A-Loi

The red thread within Yeshua’s practise has been the feeling of disconnection, distance, and of being misplaced. His current performance (Un cas bashi y un hogar yen di memoria) embarks from his endless search for home, nostalgia & homesickness. An emotion that is not foreign to many from the Caribbean. Through personal stories of grief, music and collaboration with family he seeks for acceptance, acceptance that you can never go back even if you go back “home”.

See the work by Waèl Allouche in our Studio Space. He asked an early version of the current ChatGPT: “What is it a flag can’t do?” This question unexpectedly got answered in a very political way.

#5 Dia di Lucha pa Libertat

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
