Augusta Curiel: Yere Mi Sten
23 May – 6 November 2025
“Augusta Curiel (1873-1937) was one of Suriname’s first women photographers, running a highly successful photography studio together with her sister Anna. The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of Curiel’s work, featuring over 100 images that offer a rich glimpse into Surinamese society in the early twentieth century. Augusta Curiel – Yere Mi Sten (translated from Sranan Tongo as Hear My Voice) highlights the multifaceted practice and distinctive role of Anna and Augusta Curiel in Surinamese society during the Dutch colonial period. The exhibition coincides with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Suriname’s independence.”
