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.
