Twelve years ago, Winti priestess Marian Markelo and artist Boris van Berkum met. At the recommendation of her ancestor, Marian Markelo commissioned Boris van Berkum to develop and produce a new art collection in order to revive the African image tradition in Afro-Surinamese culture and to manifest Winti culture in the Netherlands. Kabra Blauw brings together two ancestor traditions in one showpiece: the Afro-Surinamese Kabra ancestor culture and the traditional Dutch Delft Blue.
