Curaçao Artists

Compilation programme consisting of three short films, all focussing on Curaçao. Free as a Bird by Sharelly Emanuelson zooms in on the life and work of versatile artist Geerdine Kuijpers. Having lived in Curaçao for more than 50 years, Kuijpers is best known for her life work The Art & Nature Inn, an apartment building in Willemstad that she has transformed over decades into an ecological, colourful, spiritual magic garden.

Filmmaker Tessa Boerman also chose an artist from Curaçao as a subject: Tirzo Martha. In her eponymous documentary she shows how his work is deeply rooted in Curaçao, which is reflected in his use of images and materials. Martha is a "yu di Kòrsou", a child from Curaçao.

In addition to these two art documentaries, the programme includes a short fiction film by Emanuelson: Juni – about a group of four Curaçaoan teenage boys often hanging out together. Juni makes a choice to take control of his own future. Tessa Boerman en Tirzo Martha will be present for a Q&A.
