TThe Mama ‘Zulaika’ in Otrobanda got a brand-new red dress designed by Hortence Brouwn who is her neighbor.
Zulaika is the largest mama (sculpture) that Hortence Brouwn has made, also the heaviest as it is made from concrete. Zulaika has a very comfortable spot as she watching from the ‘Seri’ Otrobanda’; the Otrobanda Hill.You can sit next to her on her comfortable bench and enjoy the scenery she enjoys. Just go chill with this mama.
