New artist-in-residence, Argentinian-Arubian writer and visual artist Arturo Desimone from Aruba, is presenting a lecture on April 24th, at 7PM.
“Curaçao is known as a historic Sephardic centrum in the Caribbean. Great Papiamentu linguists of Curaçao and Aruba noted the influence of the Sephardic language on Papiamentu. Embark on a poetic adventure. Explore the magical relationship between Papiamentu and Sephardi Hebrew in the poems by Juan Gelman (1930-2014). A tradition Gelman set out to comprehend when he had no other place in the world.”
