Straatkunst Curaçao

De Curaçaose bevolking hecht veel waarde aan kunst. Het is een samenleving waarin mensen van veel verschillende afkomsten en etniciteiten harmonieus samenleven en werken. De golf van kunst op het eiland is net zo divers als de mensen. Dat is ook te verwachten, gezien de rijke lokale cultuur en het culturele erfgoed van het eiland. U bent waarschijnlijk al bekend met de kleurrijke huisjes op Curaçao. De straten van Willemstad zijn echter ook omzoomd met grote muurschilderingen en andere vormen van street art, die allemaal scènes en een krachtige boodschap uit het dagelijkse leven op het eiland weerspiegelen. Een grote kleurrijke wereld van Caribische levenslust komt op u af.

In de wijken Punda, Pietermaai, Otrobanda en Scharloo vindt u de meest indrukwekkende muurschilderingen, naast andere historische panden. Er is straatkunst in de lokale gemeenschap en het is een integraal onderdeel geworden van het leven op straat. Internationale en lokale kunstenaars (waaronder ook veel lokale jeugd) gebruiken de kleine straatjes van de stad als inspiratie voor hun werk en maken er een artistiek sfeertje van.

    Wat voor fraaie street art is er te zien?

    Indien u al iets over het eiland weet, weet u al dat de kleurrijke muurschilderingen en street art in de hoofdstad helder en vrolijk zijn. Het onderwerp ‘kleur’ lijkt altijd heet, waar de zon ook is. Meer levendige, felle kleuren zijn altijd welkom. Zoals een Caribisch eiland hoort te zijn. Curaçao speelt een belangrijke rol in de thema’s van de verhalen. Lokale artiesten willen de wereld vieren en informeren over de rijkdom van hun multiculturele erfgoed.

    U krijgt zeker een duidelijker beeld van de street art van Curaçao na het voltooien van een wandeling met Shirley van Dushi Walks. Zij neemt u mee langs vele muurschilderingen en de populairste kunstwerken die deze geschiedenis en cultuur uitbeelden. In de enorme muurschilderingen worden typische taferelen uit het dagelijks leven, en de flora en fauna op Curaçao getoond. U komt zeker met verbluffende foto’s thuis!

    De mooiste straatkunst van Curaçao bekijken

    Op welke locaties zijn muurschilderingen te vinden? In Punda, Otrobanda, Pietermaai en Scharloo vindt u de bekendste muurschilderingen en andere vormen van street art op Curaçao. De meeste kunstwerken zijn te zien in Otrobanda. Hoewel er overal op het eiland kunstwerken aanwezig zijn, staan de straten in de genoemde wijken vooral bekend om hun levendige uitstallingen.

    Punda

    Het Papiaments-woord voor ‘steeg’ is ‘Hanchi’, en daar vindt u de meeste kunstwerken van Punda. Ook in Fort Boogjes en de zijstraten van de Breedestraat zijn inspirerende muurschilderingen te vinden. De leguanen en zonnebloemen in de Keukenstraat waren één van Punda’s vroegste kunstwerken in de openbare ruimte. Dit zijn overigens geen typische tweedimensionale schilderijen!

    Panda

    Pietermaai

    De muurschilderingen van Pietermaai, met hun levendige tinten en Caribische karakter, zijn een visueel feest. Originele muurschilderingen en straatkunst zijn veel te zien in deze hippe wijk. Hier zijn de muurschilderingen zeer gevarieerd van stijl. Caa, gelegen aan de Lombokstraat, is een tropisch street art paradijs. De focuspunten van het kunstwerk zijn de oranje gele tinten, palmbomen en ananassen.

    The Drunken Flamingo, een bar, heeft ook een tropisch kunstwerk. Een roze vogel die een beetje dronken lijkt, strijkt neer op het uithangbord van de bar. Verken de Nieuwestraat voor werken van de populairste kunstenaars. Deze buitengewone kunstwerken kunt u niet mee naar huis nemen, maar wel prachtige plaatjes van schieten.

    I have not experienced the rooms yet, but as an event, experiencing their service, attention and hospitality, they are doing a great job. The garden forms an amazing ambience for network meetings and private events. Definately recommended. Compliments to some of the waiters that are quite proactive and go the extra mile. Kudos to the team!

    Kura Botanica is a standout, both with the beautiful, spacious and tasteful rooms with a fantastic bed and wonderful bathroom, and with the exceptionally friendly and helpful staff.

    Beautiful, nice and service-oriented boutique hotel in the heart of Willemstad.To be clear: If you book via Corendon: certainly not a 5* hotel (a good 4 is better). Missing some critical things. But they make up for it with great service!A quick summary of plus and minus pointsPlus:-Location. The heart of Willemstad. In the middle of restored Otrabanda. 15 minutes walk from Nieuwstraat. Nevertheless, very quiet.-Service: employees are super friendly and helpful.-Rooms. Rooms are clean and beds great. Nice shower. Are cleaned every day. And I mean really cleaned.-Nice poolside bar where there is a lot of chatting in the evening.-Adult only. Really nice.Minus:-No beach access. This is not something that you can blame the hotel for, but it is stated differently on the Corendon site. If you want to go to a beach, you will have to arrange that yourself. Otherwise they would have gotten 5 stars for location.-Swimming pool is quite small for 46 rooms. There are approximately 13 beds, so on busy check-out days: do the math.-Breakfast. They have outsourced breakfast to a restaurant nearby (Bario). Not a buffet but a la carte. During our stay we suffered from long waiting times. Kura management then took steps and things improved.-No gym.Extras:-If you stay here, it is wise to arrange a car for at least a few days.-Be informed by the hotel management about where to eat/be etc etc.

    I had a wonderful stay at Kura Botanica in Curacao. This boutique hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooms were not only nice but also impeccably clean, which is always a priority for me when traveling. The location is fantastic, being so close to Brionplein and Punda, making it convenient to explore the vibrant surroundings.The ambiance at Kura Botanica is truly special. It radiates charm and offers a tranquil atmosphere that made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I would highly recommend Kura Botanica to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained boutique hotel in Curacao. It's a gem that ensures a delightful stay in this beautiful destination.

    Hotel with a beautiful garden, in the middle of a historic village. The service from the staff has always been friendly and multilingual. The room we stayed in was new and the bed was excellent!However, some problems were observed. They didn't replace the amenities for our last night, nor did they even collect a towel that was on the floor.The shower is also not separated from the rest of the bathroom, there is no curtain or shower stall which makes the bathroom wet. There was also a lack of support for soap and shampoo, which are on the floor.The parking lot is far away and you need to either walk with your bags or take your car close to the entrance and then return to the parking lot.But the worst thing for me was the breakfast. it is served in another hotel and there is no variety, it doesn't change between days, it is very simple and contained. You can just have a coffee and a juice and not repeat it. On the first day we were treated very poorly, even harshly, which made us not want to go back the next day.

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!

    Otrobanda

    Otrobanda is een zeer artistieke wijk en wordt vaak de thuisbasis van de meeste straatkunst van de stad genoemd. Na jaren van verwaarlozing en armoede is dit gebied gerestaureerd en verfraaid met indrukwekkende street art. Kaya Augusto Fraai herbergt een ongelooflijk drieluik (van Jhomar Loaiza). Op deze afbeelding van drie vrouwen uit Curaçao zijn de felgekleurde kleding en bloemen de bepalende kenmerken.

    Ga ook zeker in de richting van de drie naast elkaar geschilderde huizen aan de Frederikstraat. Dit is een opmerkelijke muurschildering met een danseres en een ballerina die met elkaar verstrengeld zijn. Hieronder staan de woorden “Life is a beautiful struggle” (door Sander van Beusekom van het bedrijf Blend Curaçao). Deze kunt u zelf uw eigen betekenis geven.

    In de buurt van de Hoogstraat zijn nog twee fraaie stukken te zien. Als u het einde van de straat bereikt, ziet u eerst de naakte haan (door Francis Sling) en een stukje verder de Van Lennepstraat met de beroemde gekleurde val (door Avantia Damberg) die naar Ser’i Otrobanda leidt. Dit is echter maar een kleine greep uit de straatkunst in Otrobanda. Ook in de wijken rondom de straten Ferdinandstraat, Curaçaostraat, Belvederestraat, Havenstraat en Hendriksteeg zijn prachtige muurschilderingen te zien.

    Otrobanda

    Scharloo

    Boven het Waaigat komt u uit bij een aantal nog prachtige muurschilderingen in Scharloo, onder meer van de stichting ‘Street Art Skalo’. Op de kruising met de Van Raderstraat staat zeer bekende street art (ook van Francis Sling). Het blauwgele kleurenschema is onmogelijk over het hoofd te zien. Dit kunstwerk stelt de Kibrahacha voor, een boom die van de natuur op Curaçao groeit. Alleen de ABC-eilanden hebben deze zeldzame boom. Op de parkeerplaats nabij de Bitterstraat zijn nog veel meer interessante kunstwerken te vinden. Als u geïnteresseerd bent in de bekende wijk Scharloo, moet u deze zeker op uw lijstje zetten.

    Verspreid over een gebied van acht blokken biedt dit pand een unieke luxe ervaring in een botanisch en rustig toevluchtsoord, dat volledige privacy en intimiteit biedt.
    Ideaal voor Zakenmensen, Stellen of Geliefden die een pauze nodig hebben

    Kaya Kaya festival

    Het Kaya Kaya festival speelde een belangrijke rol bij de totstandkoming van verschillende van deze muurschilderingen. Met als doel het Otrobanda-gebied esthetischer te maken, dient Kaya Kaya als een hulpmiddel voor gemeenschapsvorming. Makers van de festivals kunstwerken zeggen dat ze willen dat Ser’i Otrobanda een gastvrije gemeenschap is, waar mensen van alle achtergronden veilig samen kunnen leven, werken en socializen.

    Jaarlijks wordt een nieuw deel van Otrobanda onderhouden. Het gebied is meer opgeruimd en is nu versierd met muurschilderingen en andere kunstwerken om de hernieuwde schoonheid van de straat op te fleuren. De Kaya Kaya Street Party wordt gehouden als laatste hoera voor al het harde werk dat is verzet. Tijdens dit evenement kunnen aanwezigen de nieuwste creaties zien terwijl ze ook genieten van live optredens, smakelijke hapjes, een samengestelde selectie van goederen van lokale verkopers en een algehele vrolijke sfeer.

    Curaçao kleurrijke muurschilderingen en kunstwerken

    Hoewel de meeste bijzondere muurschilderingen zich in Willemstad bevinden, verspreidt de trend zich snel. U vindt overal op het eiland muurschilderingen in de vorm van inspirerende, artistieke inspanningen. De schilderingen op de muur bij Eden Shopping Mall aan de Caracasbaaiweg, de Santa Maria-kathedraal van Thorns en het schilderen van eigen drijfhout bordjes bij Tugboat Beach zijn daar enkele voorbeelden van.

    Hotels geven ook steeds vaker lokale kunstenaars opdracht om prachtige muurschilderingen op hun wanden te schilderen. De kunstwerken hebben vaak een meer symbolische betekenis voor het eiland dan hun esthetische waarde doet vermoeden.

    Al bij al herenigt de lokale kunst het eiland en is een geweldige trekpleister voor het broodnodige toerisme. Gaat u vooral langs bij de genoemde wijken of boek een tour bij Dushi Walks Curaçao.
