A new art space owned and run by Tanzanian creative performers has opened in Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam.
The Art for Social and Economic Development for Africa simply known as Asedeva recently opened doors to its arts and cultural centre. Executive director Shaban Mugado said: “We have always wanted to have our own space, to work without restrictions. So over the years we bought land in Mkuranga knowing one day we’ll build our permanent centre there but this is a long term goal. We are so thankful now to have rented this space for ourselves which is close to the city but as well the local community here in Kinondoni.” He is also a dancer, choreographer and musician.
