Baarmoederisme di Tonchi, mi mama

Irving Roosburg a bini un di nos workshopnan ku e pintura enigmatiko aki ku nunka promé e no a mustra hende. Nos a keda sorprendí di tende ku e pintura tabatin konekhon ku Trinta di Mei, un di e susesonan mas importante den historia di siglo 20 na Kòrsou. Un wèlga na Shell a bira un lantamentu. E meta prinsipal tabata kombatí desigualdat sosial i rasismo. E evento aki tabatin mashá impakto riba politika entre Hulanda i Kòrsou.

Irving: “Nos bisiña, Mack Alberto, tabata traha na Refineria Isla den añanan 60. E tabata un kabayero hopi respetuoso, kariñoso i kreativo: e tabata skibi poema, traha eskultura i pinta. Mack tabata tin e uniko Cadillac ros na Kòrsou. Durante e revolushon di 30 di mei e tabata un partisipante aktivo. A arest’é pa motibu di su partisipashon i el a bai será.”

“While incarcerated he made this painting which he called ‘Baarmoederisme di Tonchi, mi mama’ showing the struggle of the Afro-Curaçaoan woman to free herself from Dutch European dominance. My father was a prison guard; Mack gave him this painting so it wouldn’t go to waste. My father kept it for years and then gave it to me. Mack Alberto died two years ago.”
