Wes Mapes

By incorporating a multifaceted practice that unites painting, sculpture, installation, musical composition and performance, Mapes creates space-encompassing multipartite works that invite reflection and contemplation. His work draws inspiration from a vast pool of influences ranging from post-colonial theory, alternative history models, mathematics, vernacular building practices, modern architecture and Pan-African identity. Mapes has shown in solo and group shows. He holds a BA in Communication Studies from California State University, Long Beach and an MA in Art and Design from the Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam.

Wes Mapes

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.

#5 Dia di Lucha pa Libertat

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
