Founded in 2008, Nafasi Art Space is an independent art space that encourages artistic growth, experimentation, conceptual engagement, collaboration, and art as vital community practice. Nafasi is located on a large industrial plot filled with shipping containers converted into artist studios and a warehouse as an exhibition gallery, along with performance spaces, workshops, an outdoor cinema, an art library, children’s art space, and more. A multidisciplinary space, Nafasi hosts a vibrant public platform of exhibitions, festivals, concerts, screenings, talks, and workshops. Nafasi also recently launched the Nafasi Academy for Contemporary Art and Expression, which trains both artists, curators, and arts managers with the aim of furthering and enriching human potential through the arts.
