The digital literary platform Patruli Literario has officially launched, offering a dynamic space for writers from the CAS-BES islands (Curaçao, Aruba, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba) and their diaspora in the Netherlands. This platform is dedicated to promoting literary works in multiple languages, including Papiamentu, Dutch, English, and Spanish.
The initiative aims to foster creativity by providing a platform for both established and emerging authors to showcase their work. The platform welcomes a wide range of literary genres such as poetry, prose, essays, and even visual forms of literature.
The name “Patruli” reflects the idea of a path yet to be fully explored, symbolizing the creative journey that each author embarks upon. “Patruli Literario encourages writers to explore new paths, moving beyond traditional literary frameworks,” explained the founders.
By creating this digital space, Patruli Literario seeks to build a vibrant and inclusive community, allowing writers to freely express themselves while connecting with readers from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
