Image Archive
This online archive contains a digitalised selection of the layered posters and pin-ups that still adorn the walls of Looiersgracht 60. As well as offering an insight into the building’s heritage in manufacturing, the makeshift gallery wall provides an intriguing snapshot of a cultural period.
Caught mid-song, this image immortalises the spirit of Mahalia Jackson (1911-1972), an American gospel singer from New Orleans. Internationally recognised as “The Queen of Gospel” due to her powerful contralto voice, she was also a prominent civil rights activist and campaigned with Martin Luther King Jr. Over the course of her rich and varied career, Jackson recorded around 30 albums.
