event

This year we invite you to volunteer and help make artsy outside furnishings to be used in the garden of Landhuis Bloemhof. Artist Michèle Russel Capriles and Ruthson Cecilia will guide you using used material to create benches, seats, tables and more for our gardens, so you can come back, bring your friends and relax, read and get inspired.

Imershón is an intimate live concert that immerses the audience in Curaçao music, culture and history. Composer and percussionist Vernon Chatlein fuses his own contemporary compositions with sound fragments from the past, in order to give "an ode to our ancestors, our language and all its magic," in his own words. This all in Quadraphonic Surround Sound.

The archived collection Zikinzá is the result of long and intense collaboration of Missionary Priest Paul Brenneker and literary artist and anthropologist from Curaçao “Ompi” Elis Juliana. They recorded anecdotes, stories and songs from the Afro-Curaçaoan culture in the 1950s and the 1960s. This collection, Zikinzá forms the basis of all the musical compositions for Imershón.

Many of us have had to say goodbye and let go in the past year. From friends, relatives, partners, children. But also of a job, of income, of security and especially of the way we were used to dealing with loss. Where was the space or time to reflect on our loss, process it and move on? In that sense, Covid-19 has turned our inner world upside down. Mourning is important for people to be able to continue after loss. That is why Bloemhof has invited Richenel 'Muz' Ansano, Ageeth Termars, Vali Leonora and Elodie Heloise to help find a way and offer possibilities for mourning.

During Hala rosea i sigui different options will be offered in the open air to travel inside to get to our inner feelings and to reflect and find a way to move on. Through meditation, movement, painting, rituals, words and of course silence. The morning will start together at 9:00 am and will end together at 1:00 pm. The contribution for participation is 7.50 per person (tea, coffee and water and materials are included). You can register via info@bloemhof.cw
