Curriculum Vitae
For each independent project & artistic work or commissioned assignment Emanuelson pursues, she uses her interdisciplinary skills and experience gathered over the years. Even though the projects may vary from working with a social organisation, a fellow artist, an academic scholar, a research program, or even a brand, her core and starting point is storytelling by means of film, video, installation and photography to communicate her thoughts, experience and sentiments about culture, heritage, colonial residue, behaviors and relationships in everyday life.
Installations
Independent Projects
By working with objects and events that reveal patterns and that trigger memory she is searching to trigger emotionality. Her work is thought-provoking and stirs curiosity in the viewer by carefully constructing something visual, theatrical and narrative in a transcendental space that allows complexities of history and human life to coexist.
Photography
Independent & Commissioned Projects
Her style is candid and simple. She uses her camera, capturing a world of familiar and nuanced stories to make sense of herself, the people and the world around her. In her work meaning is seen in the little things, moments are captured that few have time to notice.
Filmmaking
Independent Projects
She encourages the audience to balance their own experience with what they see on screen. The projection of and watching a film is to undergo a journey because film creates an amicable space that mirrors the world we are living in today.
Lecture / Workshop
Available for Bookings
Apart from her own practice she founded Uniarte, an artist-run organization that enhances the visibility & development of emerging and professional artists in the Caribbean region. She has been a guest lecturer at the University of Sint-Maarten, Art Institute Ateliers '89 in Aruba, MBO Scholengemeenschap in Bonaire and is now a guest lecturer at the University of Curaçao.
