Leon Wainwright, Roundtable discussion  Chair: Leon Wainwright Tropenmuseum The Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam (KIT, Royal Tropical Institute) On 5-6 February 2013, the Tropenmuseum, Amsterdam (KIT, Royal Tropical Institute) hosted the project conference ‘Sustainable Art Communities: Creativity and Policy in the Transnational Caribbean’.

Alex van Stipriaan, Remy’s and Marcel’s community/ties  This presentation will be focused on two artists – Remy Jungerman (1959) and Marcel Pinas (1971) – who were both born in or around the small mining town of Moengo, Suriname. Although no more than twelve years apart in age, they seem to belong to different generations in their respective careers. Nevertheless, these career paths cross with increasing frequency, and Moengo is their meeting and workplace, as well as a point of reference.
