About Nafasi

Nafasi Art Space is a young cultural centre in Tanzania, set up to improve the visual arts in the country. We have 15 artists working in 11 studios on a large industrial plot in Dar es Salaam, as painters, designers, illustrators and sculptors.

Nafasi Art Space, started in 2007 as a Non-Governmental Organisation with support from the Danish Centre for Cultural and Development (DCCD). In a little over a year Nafasi became a vibrant place in Dar es Salaam, where artists work and the public can experience art.

Mission

To be the leading Contemporary Art Centre in Tanzania that provides a platform for artists through development, production and entrepreneurship in the Visual Arts by providing training, exchange and exhibition of contemporary arts locally, regionally and beyond.

Vision

A sustainable art centre with a supportive working environment with artists’ studios for contemporary visual artists and the physical infrastructure required to work in a critical creative and learning environment to stimulate the creation of contemporary art in Tanzania, through institutionalised production, training and art exchange between the Nafasi collective and the local, regional and international (art) world. An active Public programme that reflects the activities at Nafasi for visitors to participate, purchase and experience contemporary art.
