Amapolay - Peru

Amapolay is an arts collective based in Lima, Peru. They use screen printing as a platform to transmit and elevate Peruvian cultural and to raise awareness of the struggles of Latin America's indigenous communities and resistance to colonialism. Their work draws on the popular art of Lima's working class neighborhoods and is heavily influenced by the artistic style and symbology brought by Andean and Amazonian migrants. The juxtaposition of traditional motifs within urban settings is commentary and celebration of Peru's multicultural heritage, interpreted in their signature psychadelic color palette. Amapolay is dedicated to sustainability so you will find a growing portion of their clothing is made from upcycled dead stock and vintage fabrics.
