Leslie writes: “Oil – not tourism – is the main industry in Curacao (…) A second scene [of a larger mural] depicts a tiger (‘Cha Tiger’) taking off his Shell glasses (‘blinders’) flanked by goats, a giant spider (‘Kompa Nanzi’), a woman and the Curacao flag. While I can only guess at the significance of these details, it’s clear this artwork deals with the political, social and environmental impact of the oil industry.” (This mural was created by Instituto Buena Bista guest artist Liesbeth Labeur with the assistance of IBB students. A Dutch artist, Labeur spent her childhood in Curacao and is writing a graphic novel about the “waning days of the Shell corporation” on the island)
