Then, on 26 May, don't miss the Twasoma Sanaa reading group at Bookstop Sanaa. You can email for more info.



On Friday, 27 May, the Spanish Embassy is putting on a free show of Hyperpotamus, a vocal artist who will show his skills in looping and using new technology to create an exciting one-man show.


On Saturday, 28 May, don't miss CHAPCHAP SILHOUETTE, where you can help create a spectacular wonderland of Dar es Salaam while learning about the art of silhouette. We will use newspapers from the week to inspire us in our creations, and the result will be large-scale wall installations in Nafasi's great exhibition hall. A few NAFASI artists will help facilitate the activity, and you can learn more about the background of the technique in the Bookstop Sanaa library. The art starts at 3pm!

As Nafasi friends will know, CHAPCHAP always includes a live performance in the evening, after the art activity has wrapped up. That won't change, but we wanted to develop the music programme it its own right, so for that reason we're excited to announce WIKIENDI LIVE!, a music event that will go hand-in-hand with CHAPCHAP to help bring the best East African music to the live stage here in Dar. So on the last Saturday of every month, join us for CHAPCHAP ART followed by WIKIENDI LIVE! concerts.

This coming Saturday, we present Swahili Ally from Zanzibar, who plays a unique blend of Tanzanian music with a West African twist, as he is one of the only East African musicians to play the kora! Opening for Swahili Ally will be Jinong'ite, a band from Ilala, Dar es Salaam that plays traditional-modern fusion that will make you want to dance! "Jinong'ite" means "Sweet Fun" in the Kingoni language. The music starts at 7pm and will go until 9:30!



If you're an artist interested in being programmed for WIKIENDI LIVE!, please email us with links, photos, and biographical information at info@nafasiartspace.org and make sure to put WIKIENDI LIVE! in the subject line.

Kama wewe ni Msanii na ungependa kushiriki kwenye WIKIENDI LIVE!, Tafadhali tutumie baruapepe yenye links au picha za kazi zako pamoja na muhtasari kuhusu usanii wako kwenda kwenye baruapepe ya nafasi: info@nafasiartspace.org, Hakikisha kichwa habari cha baruapepe yako kiwe WIKIENDI LIVE!

Shukrani, Tukutane Nafasi...
