'Mama Aisa tyari a boskopu kon' (2023)

With the installation 'Mama Aisa tyari a boskopu kon' (2023), Jaasir Linger depicts the carriage of the mother goddess Aisa, who originates from the Afro-Surinamese Winti religion, and in which she rode during the exodus from slavery. Winti originated during the transatlantic slavery on plantations in Suriname. During the Dutch rule in Suriname, Winti was labelled as idolatry by the church and state and banned, so that it was practiced in secret. All parts of the installation have a symbolic meaning, from the 'pemba doti' (white kaolin clay) to the 'kopro beki' (copper bowl).
