Create a Caribbean Chichi
In Curaçao, older sisters are affectionately called “Chichis,” and the term has come to represent a strong, proud and voluptuous Caribbean woman. Local artists celebrate these familial pillars by creating Chichi dolls, or handmade, painted sculptures in vibrant colors of curvy female forms. Chichi dolls are perhaps the most common souvenirs on the island and quickly gaining more international recognition due to their body-positive and female-empowering messages. For a unique team-building exercise in honor of International Women’s Day, groups can take part in a Chichi painting workshop at Serena’s Art Factory in Willemstad Curaçao for $12 per person. Seats are limited and available on a first-come, first serve basis.
