What to do and see in Dar es Salaam, Dar Es Salaam Region: The Best Art Galleries

March 13, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

Nestled along a natural harbor on the Indian Ocean, Dar es Salaam is a multicultural city, home to African Tanzanians, Arabic and South Asian communities, British and German expatriates, Catholics, Lutherans and Muslims. This diversity in people is reflected in the culture: the city boasts international cuisine ranging from traditional Tanzanian barbecue and Zanzibari food to Thai, Chinese and American restaurants. Its vibrant music scene has witnessed a rise in Bongo Flava, a form of hip hop.

Chuma Art Workshop

Wonder Workshop was home of 30 plus physically disabled men and women from all over Tanzania. For more than 11 years it was committed to training and empowering the artisans with skills like welding, carpentry, paper and bead making. In October 2017, Wonder Workshop was officially closed as it ran out of Business. Chuma Art Worskshop is a story of hope to the Artisans who were still very passionate about the authentic detailing, sculpture and designing the weldedart pieces. Chuma values the quality of the items we design, every piece of scrap metal was intentionally placed to compliment every other that completes the whole sculpture or functional item. Four Brave Artisans, found Chuma Art Workshop in December 2017, and it been growing ever since. Out BIGGEST DREAM is that we are able to improve living standards of as many physically disabled artists as we can reach. By reading and sharing this articale you are helping us achieve this dream and we thank you! Also Welcome to our Work

Tingatinga Arts Cooperative Society

Reviewed By DrJamieB19 - Philadelphia, United States

I traveled with my adult son and teen daughter and we each found something we loved at the Tingatinga Arts cooperative. Adamson's #007 had authentic wood carvings, ceremonial knives, and portraits, and the stalls on both sides had collectables as well. We went three times and would have stayed longer (and shopped more) if they had a place to eat and relax.
