Mi no tin palabra / No words available

The concept I’m presenting is titled “Mi No Tin Palabra” / No Words Available”. Even before COVID-19th since March 2020, when it all started, all the museums on the island of Aruba were closed. Now more than a year, are still closed. It became obvious that there is a lack of interest to start the process of what is the new trend now called the “Creative Industries”. Furthermore, reference must be made to a very limited connection between the artists and the community, which from my point of view may also explain the inconsistency and lack of the visual arts subsystem in Aruba. Starting with the highest organ on the island who has no interest and no affiliation, whatsoever, to do some work on this very important matter.

There is still a huge gap between the artists, the public and their living environment as we can see. It’s always a small hand of people; artists, family, friends, art-lovers, and the younger generation who are always present, supportive and curious of the contemporary arts community on the island.
In my opinion, there is also a need for the social distress to be addressed properly and more seriously within the context of each “problem” starting with its own creative (constructive) solution. And so, it is necessary for art to take a deep critical look on the importance of the value of the anthropological distortion and the creative-social impact thereof.
