Eugenie Boon(1995) is born in Curacao and lives and work in The Hague.
In 2020 she graduated at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, with
honors she got her Bachelor of Fine Arts.
Eugenie Boon is a multi-disciplinary artist who’s works revolves around
her upbringing on the island of Curacao and the island’s historical
relation to the Netherlands. In her attempt to understand the subtle
complexities she encounters in her daily life experiences, she is
constantly confronted with the aspect of duality. Duality through topics
like religion, colonialism, gender, inequality and identity and the
struggles with that duality comes back in her performances,
installations ,video works and paintings. In a shamanistic, playful,
poetic yet still critical way, her projects questions social-political
issues and cultural vs institutional structures in which the spectator
is challenged to recognize their self and perhaps reflect on their own
position.
