About us

Mapping Asian Art Practices in Sweden (MAAPS) is an ongoing project initiated and run by four Stockholm-based curators with roots across Asia. 

MAAPS aims to bring together the work and stories of art practitioners based in Sweden who are situated in relation to what is often broadly framed as “Asia” and its diasporas, creating a space where these practices can be encountered in relation to one another. At the same time, we seek to understand and map Asian art practices through conversations and encounters, not through fixed categories. Mapping thus becomes a constellation, forming an ever-evolving contemporary landscape. 

This process of mapping takes shape on the MAAPS website – a living archive and open platform where anyone can explore and engage, and where practitioners can also share and document their practices as they evolve. 

If you are an art practitioner in Sweden who identifies in relation to Asia and its diasporas – or know someone who should be included – feel free to use the contact form to nominate; you can also contact us via our Instagram or email.
