In the context of the abolition of slavery with the theme of 'freedom' 150 years ago in 2014, the installation Map of Curaçao I was created: a map of Curaçao made up of surnames at the location where the family name comes from. In the past, most enslaved had their African surnames diminished and by the abolition of slavery, a non-existent surname was required by law to be entered and registered with the population register. The first edition is from paper and this second work is permanent, made from ceramics. It hangs in the public registry office 'Kranshi'.
This is a work about identity and heritage and I did research for it which made me really dig into Curaçao and learn and discover new insights about Curaçao.
