Marieke Knol woont en werkt op Bonaire en is daar samen met Mimoun Himmit oprichter van Hòfi Kultural. Ze droeg als kunst- en cultuurwetenschapper jarenlang zorg voor de fondsenwerving en het beleid van Fundashon Plataforma Kultural. Sinds enkele jaren legt zij zich meer toe op haar werk als maker, door te schrijven, schilderen, muziek te maken en te dichten. Veel plezier bij het bekijken en lezen van haar blog, kunstwerken en sprookjes.
“Stil zijn is de grootste kunst” Rumi
Let’s clean my desk… Not!
Yes, I also have it, like almost everyone around me: Corona. As soon as I start to feel a little bit less miserable, I crawl behind my work office. My table top is always nice and messy. I want to have everything at hand and be able to leave it until I catch up again.
Saying goodbye does not exist
Especially on an island like Bonaire, moving overseas is a drastic operation. In the years that I have lived here, I have experienced very often, that we were able to welcome people and had to wave them goodbye again. Farewell is part of it, if you live here.
Be yourself!
Let's do it! For years I have longed to write a blog about what I think matters. Welcome to my first blog, Yeah! We immediately start with an statement, as Sting so beautifully says: be yourself no matter what they say. That's what I do and want you to do as well. No socially desirable behavior, just go crazy if you feel like it.
