TERRAMAR MUSEUM PRESENTS ‘ TENE PIA SEKU’: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY EXHIBITION EXPLORING THE REALITIES OF CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF CARIBBEAN ISLAND COMMUNITIES.
Kralendijk — ‘Tene Pia Seku’ brings together international documentary photography and research with our local contemporary art, historical perspectives and community knowledge. The exhibition examines how rising sea levels, environmental change and social inequality are reshaping the relationship between people, water and place.
At the beginning of the exhibition it presents ‘Rising Tide’, featuring the internationally acclaimed work of photographer Kadir van Lohuizen, presented here in collaboration with the National Maritime Museum of the Netherlands. His compelling visual narratives and activist approach that inspired this project for many years are placed in dialogue with contributions by Bonairian artists. Ghislaine Monte and Nicole Peiliker show the current generation and the concerns they feel for the impact of climate change on our culture. Kenny Ranking documents life at our shores and Marieke Knol helps us to reflect and absorb the stories. These local elements reflect the island’s resilience and cultural, ecological and social landscapes.
The exhibition is further enriched by the research and the work ‘How to care about Bonaire’ of Prof. Dr. Simon Richter, alongside the lived experiences of community leaders Norwin Willem, Anjelica Cicilia and Barbara Griot. Their stories are drawn from the research project Climate Change and Gender Inequality (Klimaat en Genderongelijkheid), commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) and carried out by Climate Adaptation Services, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool Rotterdam) and Terramar Museum. Their interviews provide invaluable insights into the social dimensions of climate change and the ways in which environmental challenges intersect with questions of gender, equity, heritage and community resilience.
Rather than focusing solely on the risks of climate change, ‘Tene Pia Seku’ highlights resilience, adaptation and personal action. Through stories of historical and contemporary water management, environmental conservation and community initiatives. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on both the vulnerabilities and the strength of island societies.
‘Tene Pia Seku’ was developed through a collaboration between the National Maritime Museum of the Netherlands, the Association of Museums and Heritage of Curaça, and Terramar Museum Bonaire, the Cultuurfonds Caribischgebied and MondriaanFonds Tene Pia Seku will be presented in two Caribbean locations.
The exhibition opens at Terramar Museum in Bonaire from 8 August until 1 December and continues at Habaai Art Gallery in Curaçao from 27 August until 23 November. Each venue presents a unique interpretation that responds to its local context while contributing to a shared Caribbean dialogue on climate resilience. Opening on Bonaire on August 8 2026 will start at 19:30 at Terramar Museum.
