What: Marshe di Artesania, a monthly local handicraft market to promote the work of artists & artisans, every second Saturday of the month. And everything is, of course, … made in Curacao!

By doing this on a regular basis, the public came to rely on the craft market to purchase their unique presents or home decorations directly from the artisans themselves.

What: Crossing the Water, solo exhibition by Remy Jungerman (also on Facebook)
When: April 11-August 16, 2015
Where: Haags Gemeentemuseum, Stadhouderslaan 41, Den Haag, the Netherlands
The title Crossing the Water is a reference to Jungerman’s own passage from Modernism to the African diaspora perspective in his study of the geometric. Since 2014 he has been working on panels, abandoning the restrictions in terms of shape and colour dictated by the De Stijl movement – his great inspiration – and, using specific textiles, reintroducing the influences of Winti rituals. Jungerman uses traditional fabrics, and also batik-based fabrics made by the Dutch manufacturer Vlisco. For him, this symbolises the economic ties and exchanges between the different cultures in which he lives.

Interesting website with newsletter
Caribbean In Transit is a Caribbean Art Journal.
Subscribe to the newsletter here. On the website find a call for papers. A quote from a recent post:
“The arts is a form of action,” wrote Caribbean intellectual and choreographer Rex Nettleford. As action, the arts can be an effort inclined toward a pursuit of social change. The arts can be political acts. The arts can liberate ways of being and refashion ways of thinking in our world. The arts can be used to transform communities and transfigure societies.”

In Development – Christopher Cozier, solo exhibition
When: January 25-March 16, 2013 | Opening: January 25, 2013, 18:00-20:00
Where: David Krut Projects, 526 West 26th Street, 816, New York, NY 10001, USA
In this exhibition, Cozier cuts geometric patterns out of paper, a pattern derived from suburban concrete “breeze bricks”, used throughout the Caribbean. In Cozier’s work, this familiar pattern represents the possibility and longing of those in political and social transition across the world.
The pattern can be downloaded here so that everyone who wants to, can get to work and contribute to the final work of art.
In Suriname Christopher Cozier is best known for his curator-ship in Paramaribo SPAN.
