This commission was a coloring page and postcard for museum het Nieuwe Institute in Rotterdam for the past exhibition Sungu Kondre/Singi Konde. The exhibition traveled to Suriname in spring 2025 and was about the inland area that got flooded after the building of the Afobaka dam. The focal point of the illustration is the identity of the marroons that were displaced from this area and can be seen in the pangis (printed fabric, worn as a wrap skirt) and woodcutting in the houses.
