Abstract

Through a discussion of the artwork Blijf maar plakken by Curaçaoan artist Tirzo Martha, this paper discusses how a collaborative artwork not only reinforces bonds between its participants, but also taps into a local community’s cultural memory, prompting stories and creating cultural identity rather than merely representing or reflecting it.
