- (Soul) food for thought (with Caribbean seasoning)
- Professional nitpicker & woke killjoy
- Visual culture & lens-based research
Born and raised on Curaçao—a young island nation navigating the complexities of rapid changes and a legacy of colonialism—I bring an acute awareness of the transformative potential in addressing issues at the intersection of art, culture, ecology, and identity.
I apply postcolonial, anthropological, and critical theory to my work—combining incisive cultural analysis with reflexive knowledge production. With my public scholarship and artistic research, I explore how histories are constructed, whose voices are amplified, and how knowledge circulates across disciplines and media.
Throughout my career, I have cultivated a deep interest in visual culture, archival practices, and Caribbean orature, all of which serve as central themes in my work.
