WILLEMSTAD – A new 5.5-meter-high artwork named Brianta will soon be unveiled at the Curaçaosch Museum, as part of the Wintertuin Curaçao Kids Festival. The project is a collaboration between Wintertuin Curaçao and creative agency SineCera, and will be brought to life together with local artists and children.

Children will paint recycled bottles and cans, decorating them with colorful fabrics to transform Brianta into a vibrant community art installation. “Brianta will grow into a joyful community art object, made by and for the youth of Curaçao,” the organization explained. Parents are also encouraged to take part, literally giving a hand by lifting their children so even the youngest participants can help decorate the higher parts of the artwork.

According to Wintertuin Curaçao, Brianta represents strength: pride in one’s skin color, hair, and inner power. This is reflected in the artwork’s bright dress and cheerful afro. In her hand, Brianta holds a pen—symbolizing the transformative power of stories and writing to change the world in a positive way. The design is based on the festival’s flyer, created by graphic designer Vincent Hammingh.

On September 13, during the festival day expected to draw more than 1,000 visitors—including 400 children with free admission—Brianta will serve as the centerpiece of a day filled with art, storytelling, and community spirit.

With this installation, Wintertuin Curaçao embraces a new visual language in art, one that puts “everyday people” at the center and raises awareness about representation.
