Every first Thursday of the month the NAF NorCal Chapter, together with the Consulate of the Netherlands in San Francisco, organizes a "borrel". This Thursday you are cordially invited to a special cultural event in remembrance and celebration of Edgar Cairo, Surinamese writer and poet. We will be showing “Ik ga dood om jullie hoofd” or “I will die for your head”, a film by Cindy Kerseborn. The film had its International Premiere on September 17, 2011 at UC Berkeley and is a documentary film on the work and life of the African-American Surinamese author Edgar Cairo, whose novels and poetry are deeply influenced by the oral traditions of the Maroon community in his native country. The film is spoken in Dutch and Surinamese Creole but has English subtitles.
We are also very excited to be joined by Professor Jeroen DeWulf, Director of the Dutch Studies Program at UC Berkeley, who will provide the introduction to the film. Please join us for an evening of appreciation and celebration of this Surinamese literary icon.
