Kuda Mapeza

Kuda Mapeza is an interdisciplinary artist, working as a musician, writer, actor, director and youth facilitator.

With focus on empowering people of colour telling stories of power, Kuda’s work is heavily inspired by mythology, cultural underbelly, surrealism and Afrofuturism. Kuda’s approach to their work is modelled after the cultural necessity of sankofa, a Ghanaian word from the Akan tribe meaning to ‘look back in order to look forward’, or ‘fetch what is at risk of being left behind’, resulting in definant-hybridisation, analogue-meets-digital, past-meets-future, real-meets-unreal essense to all of their artistic endeavours.
