At other spaces
Zakaria Riwa will have his exhibition, 'In Particular', at Goethe Institut from 1 December. This series of paintings addresses the time Dar residents spend sitting motionless in traffic jams, "forever on Transit, in the company of strangers," stuck nowhere and doing nothing as the time passes. | | OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARTISTS WORKSHOPS

| | FRIENDS OF NAFASI
Support the arts in Tanzania!
During November and December of this year, we are asking you, our supporters and friends, to support our work by becoming official 'Friends of Nafasi'.
In the past, we have managed to run all of our activities and programmes primarily through support from international donors. However, right now, only one key partner, the Danish Embassy, is funding Nafasi programmes and a large portion of our budget is not covered by external funding.
In addition to renting our venue and PA equipment for partner events, commission on artworks, and corporate donations, we rely on our Friends of Nafasi programme to help us generate enough revenue to survive.
Friends of Nafasi receive their name/company logo on the wall on our main building, as well as special invitations and access to Nafasi events, as well as our deep and sincere gratitude!
If you are interested in becoming a Friend, please contact our director at rebecca@nafasiartspace.org. Asanteni sana! | | | | | | |
