A methodical approach to documentation
All three of them strive to showcase the subtle aspects of St. Martin’s culture.
“Today, there are very few artworks that highlight our culture and document our traditions. The island’s oral tradition has been dying out slowly for several reasons. We believe that we need a methodical, or even educational approach to firstly define the various elements of our culture, and then document them,” explain the three young locals of St. Martin.
To be able to really get this cultural heritage out there on a broader scale, they began selling items featuring the island’s famous “slangs,” creating local board games, and organizing innovative events in the local area. They’re all over social media, too.
