About the event
This event consists of:
1. A two-day exhibition at Axum Art Gallery (Opening on January 26 from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM), with works
of art by Aruban artist Sharina Gumbs. She brings nine historical figures from the slavery past of the St
Martin and the Caribbean islands to life through powerful, abstract portraits. The exhibition also highlights
migration stories from Sint Maarten to Aruba: how families like Lake, Gumbs, Arrindell, Hodge, Richardson
and Pantophlet have enriched our cultures.
