Group exhibition: CROSSING BOUNDARIES – The path towards a better future

10/01/2025 - 01/03/2025

Dear art friends,

We begin this anniversary year, in which we commemorate 50 years of political independence, with an engaging exhibition: ‘CROSSING BOUNDARIES. The path towards a better future’. In this group exhibition, curators Aruna Mungra and Raies Wolfram challenge boundaries. This is not about crossing physical borders, but rather the challenge of breaking invisible barriers created by society or your own psyche. Development can only occur if you step out of your comfort zone and explore new areas. This applies to both art and beyond.

Artists push boundaries by experimenting with materials and coming up with innovative concepts. Artist Sri Irodikromo for example, has been exploring how to incorporate natural materials such as coffee, tea, and beeswax into her art, for several years now. Guest artist Zerachiel van Mark takes a different approach, creating artworks with a 3D pen. Rachel Vismale, also featured in this exhibition, offers visitors a multisensory experience by combining image and music.

When we talk about development by pushing boundaries outside of art, we don’t have to look far. For decades, we have been striving for sustainable development in Suriname for all Surinamese people. After all these years, it is clear that we must take new paths to achieve this. A development strategy based on the assumption that we humans are all interconnected with each other and with nature can be a beautiful and solid foundation for the sustainable development of our beloved Suriname.

At this exhibition you can enjoy the work of the artists Paul Chang, Kenneth Flijders, Shaundell Horton, Sri Irodikromo, Rinaldo Klas, Miguel Keerveld, Kurt Nahar, Sunil Puljhun, Dhiradj Ramsamoedj, Kit-Ling Tjon Pian Gi, Hanka Wolterstorff, and guest artists Meltem Karakoyun, Zerachiel van Mark, Rachel Vismale and Raies Wolfram.

‘CROSSING BOUNDARIES. The path towards a better future’ opens on Friday, January 10 at Readytex Art Gallery and will be on view until Saturday, March 1. We are open from Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and on Saturdays from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm.

We look forward to welcoming you and your guests!
