Instituto Buena Bista (IBB) presents Rah Naqvi’s interactive Artist Talk and certificate presentation
Willemstad – On Thursday, June 20, 2024, Instituto Buena Bista (IBB) will present an interactive Artist Talk by the current Artist in Residence, Rah Naqvi, followed by a certificate presentation. The Artist Talk and certificate presentation will take place at Kueba 60, formerly Casa Moderna, at Madurostraat 60 in Punda, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own (possibly homemade) instruments for an interactive jam session.
Rah Naqvi is an Indian artist based in Amsterdam whose work focuses on religious and social polarization. Naqvi uses playful props, satire, and gentleness to engage the viewer. Their art and singing practice emphasize queer resistance, the polyphonic nature of love and revolution, and warn against a monotonous, choice-less future. Naqvi studied Liberal Arts at St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai, and earned a Bachelor of Textiles at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad. Their work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Bangkok Art Biennale and Kunsthall Trondheim.
Visitors are warmly welcome on June 20, 2024, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Kueba 60, Casa Moderna at Madurostraat 60 in Punda. Admission is free.
About Instituto Buena Bista (IBB)

Instituto Buena Bista
The Instituto Buena Bista, Curacao Center for Contemporary Art, IBB, started in 2006 as an artists initiative with the goal to create a solid platform for art and art education.
As an art institute that offers preparatory training for young talents, the IBB deals with all the aspects of art and art education that make a follow up to an art academy or creative schooling possible. The educational components don’t limit themselves to the students but also cover a broad area of the Curacao and Caribbean art towards the local society. The social engagement and added value of art for the society is also very present in the IBB structure. Being situated on the premises of the Capriles psychiatric clinic is not only a statement of the social engagement of the IBB but also a reflection of the concepts that IBB strives to achieve as well; collaboration, exchange and development.
The clients of the clinic participate on a regular basis together with the students in workshops and classes. This, as part of an initiative by the clinic and the IBB to make the clinic more accessible to the public and to create more insight in the psychiatric world.Projects in public spaces have become a regular activity by the IBB. In these projects the students work together with patients of the clinic, students from other schools or people from organisations that participate in these activities.
The IBB students get a special role where they have to support and guide the participants and at the same time experience responsibility towards their creations and others.
