Appearing Together proposes a review of the colonial interests of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Latin America and the Caribbean through the official paintings of Albert Eckhout and Frans Post mainly, and other historiographical references, to trace a possible genealogy on the concept of the Dutch Syndrome and its repercussions in the contemporary world. 

The Dutch syndrome is a term used to refer to a macroeconomic phenomenon that affects mono-exporting countries depending on the exploitation of non-renewable resources, that provokes an income shock that modifies its productive structure, causing long-term unsustainable economic growth.
