ANANSI THE SPIDER
Anansi the spider is the main character in numerous West African, Surinamese and Caribbean fairy tales that have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. During the time of slavery and colonialism, the stories of Anansi the spider came with the people who were enslaved. They had to leave everything behind, but they took the stories with them.
Anansi the spider is very well known and popular in, among others, Suriname, the Antilles, Jamaica and the South of the US.
​
I worked on the series Anansi de Spin as a storyboard artist under the supervision of Patrick Raats.
​ The series can be seen on NPO Zappelin and can also be viewed here.
