27773 From Multicultural to Monocultural: Erecting stylistic borders in post-colonial Curaçao
Welcome to my Challenging Borders project, developed for Hope College as part of a Global Crossroads Initiative grant sponsored by the Great Lakes College Association (GLCA), of which Hope is a member.  Challenging Borders: Global issues is an interactive, 3-5 minute audio-visual diaspora produced by members of the Hope College community.

This site is a small part of a larger research project I've been working on since 2013, and I plan to eventually turn it into a chapter in my book and also a larger Digital Humanities project with 3D models of historic and contemporary Willemstad, Curaçao.  I am an art historican and digital humanist, currently the Digital Liberal Arts Fellow for the Mellon Scholars Program, and an instructor in Art and Art History.  

To enjoy this project, follow a path through this Scalar essay by scrolling to the bottom of each page and clicking the link to the next page.  On each page, you can click on the audio files, or read the text (they are the same), as you interact with annotated images in the galleries.

Special thanks to the Hope College coordinators of Challenging Borders, Dr. Berta Carrasco and Dr. Heidi Kraus, and Hope student and Mellon Scholar Irene Gerrish, whose voice you hear on the audio files.
