Mark your calendars now for 5 December. It will be our last exhibition at Nafasi for the year, with artworks from the Spanish Art Competition which invited artists to interpret the theme of Don Quixote in a Tanzanian context. 

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.

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!
Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you at Nafasi soon!

Nafasi Art Space is Tanzania's top creative hub for artists, providing them with a place to create, learn, and present their work to the public. We host over 50 artists in 32 studios, and regularly hold workshops, art talks, and public events for everyone interested in arts and culture. On average, Nafasi has 800-1000 visitors every month participating in a range of activities.
