‘Wakaman’ – which literally means ‘the walking man’ – forms part of an ongoing project driven by a desire to examine the position of visual artists in Suriname and put them on the international map. Here a collection of works, projects, exchanges and writings from artists based in Suriname and the Netherlands, produced over recent years, is presented. Together, the works demonstrate a rich and dynamic practice, with its own unique approach, sensibility and aesthetics. Illustrated throughout, the publication also includes biographic information on each of the artists.
