Africadelic X Ventilator Cinema with CineCarib: Kombiná (69')

CineCarib: Kombiná (69') + post-screening discussion

Kombiná is a journey through contemporary Dutch Caribbean architecture. The documentary follows architect Lyongo Juliana on a 25-year journey across the Dutch Caribbean, exploring what contemporary Caribbean architecture truly means today. Through projects on Curaçao, Bonaire, Saba, and St. Maarten, the film reveals how architecture emerges from a rich fusion of cultures, histories, climates, and social realities. Just like Caribbean music and language, architecture is shaped by many influences. In the film, Lyongo reflects—together with young designers, students, clients, and residents—on how architecture can respond to social challenges, reflect local identity, and contribute to more inclusive and meaningful living environments.
