Nafasi Art Space is an interdisciplinary contemporary art centre that seeks to further and enrich human potential through the arts. Nafasi is set in extensive open grounds consisting of studios, gallery and exhibition spaces, an art Academy, film amphitheater, art library, supply shop, music rehearsal space and more. We host regular diverse exhibitions, festivals, workshops, talks and wider public engagement events aimed at providing access, engagement, and participation in the arts.
The AIR programme is part of our objective to create a critical learning environment and to stimulate the discovery and creation of contemporary art in Tanzania, through production and an open exchange within the region and beyond. We typically accept 12-15 artists per year for participation in our residency programme.
For the coming year, we are inviting artists to apply for self-funded residencies. Upon acceptance, we are always happy to provide letters of invitation and other documentation that may help artists fundraise for the residency costs (such as studio fees, accommodation, visa applications, materials, transport, and food.)
Nafasi provides selected residents with curatorial and administrative support, connections and opportunities to collaborate and interact with Tanzanian artists and audiences, and promotion for artist talks and open studio/exhibitions organised during the residency.
