ANANSE, an evocative and thought-provoking exhibit by local Aruban artist Olga van Bochove.
Opening on January 24th at 7.30 pm, this immersive experience takes visitors on a journey
through the rich history and enduring legacy of the Ananse stories—ancient African tales that
have transcended time, geography and culture.

complexities of cultural identity. ‘E TERA DI ANANSE’ encourages visitors to question inherited
narratives and envision new possibilities for the future. By revisiting the past, it honors the
enduring strength of ancestral traditions while acknowledging the ongoing.
Olga van Bochove’s work takes this rich cultural heritage as its foundation, offering a visual and
conceptual exploration that reimagines Ananse’s legacy, Nanzi as the spider is named in Aruba
in the context of contemporary challenges. The exhibit encourages reflection on themes of
identity and history.
