Heru ku Heru is inspired by the travel routes taken by my family. The work revolves around the complex history of descendants of emigrants from the Caribbean island of Curaçao to the Netherlands and has a dual structure: on one hand, a fictional story about characters attending a Curaçaoan dinner, which I reconstructed in my living room; on the other hand, interviews with Dutch residents of Caribbean descent. Heru ku Heru delves into their mythical memories and explores the sensitive and complex legacy of colonialism from a contemporary perspective.
