Archell Thompson is an artist and storyteller.
He grew up in Curacao, where receiving slaps as a kid was- and still is, a prt of the culture. Noticing how this influenced him even till today, he decided to dedicate his life to make a change.
By sharing his story, and thereby braking the taboe there is around this subject, he invites the youngsters of now to share their stories too. And in this way it 'all gets out in the open' making it possible for a change.I admire Archell, who is a kind person and always has patience and empathy for the people around him. AND he is a great artist.

Oom Willem is a bodypiecer and artist.
In this short portrait we get an insight into his mind, thoughts, emotions and work.
From the minute Willem entered my studio and until he left (like 3 hours later, I think) I was spellbound by him, his vision on life and all these incredible tattoos! I was trying to imagine how it must be to have these tattoos everyday, like never be able to 'just go to the supermarket to buy food' without having like everyone look at you every minute. My God! Deep respect for this man.
