Each year we ask a graphic designer to create a work for Buro Stedelijk's windows facing the Paulus Potterstraat. This year Jeanine van Berkel created the work ABOUT LOVE.

#5 KETI KOTI X 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.
