Suriname: Art as a Beacon
Written byJanine Mendes-Franco
At Paramaribo SPAN, Nicholas Laughlin blogs about artist Sri Irodikromo’s “monumentally scaled batik panel”, which, on the night of SPAN's recent exhibition opening, “served as a beacon, drawing visitors to the far end of the DSB Bank garden”. He suggests that the piece “might also be seen as another kind of beacon, drawing our attention to a mental space where cultural and spiritual traditions meet and negotiate.”
