Home to more than 100 nationalities, Aruba has grown into a nation where cultures meet, blend, and exchange customs and ideas. Yet it has been only forty years since Aruba could autonomously claim its own cultural identity. What does it truly mean then to make such a claim? And how does this meaning shift when, for the Aruban diaspora in the Netherlands, the land where that identity was shaped lies 8,000 kilometers away? In ‘On the Shoulders of Our Ancestors’ we explore how Aruban cultural identity emerged, how it has evolved, and how it can continue to be practiced and reclaimed, both on the island and within its diaspora. It also invites critical reflection on the role the Netherlands has played—both in shaping and in eroding—Aruba’s cultural identity and collective memory. This event starts at 19.30 with a lecture about the developments that have shaped and continue to shape Aruba’s cultural identity. We’ll then hold a discussion with Quito Nicolaas, an elder writer and poet who has contributed to the documentation and celebration of this cultural identity, together with younger artists who, using his work as inspiration, showcase what conserving, honouring and appreciating this culture could look like in the future.
