Surinaamse hut

Description

This mural of a traditional Surinamese hut was created in 1980. The painting was part of a project to create more color in the city, as a reaction to the greyness that was ever present. This mural was created together with the painting of 8 Surinamese women next to it.

In 2023 the mural was restored by design agency Opperclaes. This was the year that 150 years of colonial history and slavery was remembered in the Netherlands. Second part of this project was the creation of three new murals just a couple of arches away.

==========

Het kunstwerk van een traditionele Surinaamse plaggenhut is gemaakt in 1980. De schildering was onderdeel van een project om meer kleur in de stad te brengen, als reactie op de overal aanwezige grauwheid. Deze muurschildering is tegelijk gecreëerd met de schildering van de 8 Surinaamse vrouwen er direct naast.

In 2023 is het kunstwerk gerestaureerd door ontwerpbureau Opperclaes. In dit jaar werd 150 jaar koloniaal- en slavernij verleden herdacht in Nederland. Het tweede deel van dit project was het toevoegen van nog drie muurschilderingen op slechts enkele bogen afstand.
