Tula 2.0

Curaçao, June 10, 2014

Tula 2.0, organized by Mon Art Gallery and foundation Arte’99.
Tula led the slave revolt in 1795. Now 14 artists explore the identity of a new and contemporary fighter for freedom.

.

“Freedom. Nothing more and nothing less!” Tula’s answer when asked what he was fighting for, was straightforward and resounds to this day. His ideals are still persued. His struggle is still not over. If Tula woud be here with us today, how would he experience our society in 2014? Would he be disappointed or satisfied with our achievements?

Mon Art Gallery presented this question to a selection of Curaçao artists. Each visualized the theme in their own way. The Tula 2.0 exhibition encompasses paintings, drawings, photographs and installations. Themes like exploitation, inequality, love and sacrifice are displayed through Tula’s eyes and through the eyes of contemporary freedom fighters.
