Info
An archive of representations of the island throughout the news & popular culture, art, design etc.
Title comes from the name that the Spanish gave to the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao after they """discovered""" them - it means Useless Islands in English. It was also the title of a project I once participated in produced by Bar None in Amsterdam, which aimed to portray some of the various facets of Dutch Caribbean creativity.
"tide-alectic" — '...the ripple and the two tide movement.' '...the notion of dialectic, which is three – the resolution in the third'
By Kamau(Edward) Brathwaite
The term embodied his affirmation of a specific language and way of perceiving the world that rejected an analysis based in thesis, antithesis and synthesis
