The National Library of Aruba, specifically the Arubian-Caribbean Department, has extended an invitation to the community for a conversatorio dedicated to the literary and cultural legacy of sr. Ito Tromp. The event, titled “Duna Mi Dos Placa di Palabra,” is scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 21, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. It will be held at the Arubiana-Caribiana branch located on Bachstraat 5.
As part of the “Comparti nos Herencia” series, the session aims to create a constructive space for encounter and reflection regarding Tromp’s enduring contributions to Aruba’s language, literature, and cultural identity. Organizers hope to bridge the gap between generations by reconnecting the community with its heritage. The discussion will underscore the importance of preserving local history and promoting cultural expression within Aruban society.
The National Library emphasizes that this event is tailored for anyone passionate about Aruba’s culture, literature, and patrimony. While entrance is free, the venue has limited capacity, requiring interested participants to register in advance. To confirm presence, individuals are asked to send a message or call 592-6197. The library looks forward to a strong turnout for this evening of cultural appreciation.
