It is set to open on September 29 at Galeria Keizershof in the Otrobanda neighborhood of Willemstad. The show represents a curated collective effort to give visibility to LGBTQ+ voices through visual art in a public gallery setting. Otrobanda, a historic district on the western bank of Willemstad's St. Anna Bay, provides a culturally significant backdrop for the event. The exhibition underscores the growing role of arts and culture within Curaçao's annual Pride celebrations.

Hyves, the once-popular Dutch social network, has relaunched 22 years after its founding, according to its owner Mediahuis. The platform is positioning itself as an alternative to mainstream social media by offering fewer intrusive advertisements, no addictive algorithms, and a nostalgic user experience that includes features like 'krabbels' (wall messages) and animated dancing bananas. Mediahuis says there is a growing demand for social media platforms that prioritize user wellbeing over engagement metrics. The relaunch taps into widespread dissatisfaction with platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, which have faced criticism for manipulative design and data privacy concerns. Hyves originally launched in the Netherlands in 2004 and was enormously popular in the Dutch-speaking world, including Curaçao, before declining in the early 2010s. The revival is aimed at users seeking a more human, less commercialized online social experience. No details were provided on current user numbers or a formal launch date for the relaunched platform.
