TingaTinga Arts Collective

From a creative co-op in Tanzania emerges TingaTinga Arts Collective, a vibrant showcase of 8 artists breathing new life into the rich visual storytelling traditions of East Africa. Influenced by visionary artist Edward Saidi TingaTingas work in the 1960s (where the movement gets its name), this collective carries the torch of this distinctive African art form renowned for its bold and brilliant colors, characters, and captivating narratives.

Originally constructed using bicycle paint on low-cost materials such as masonite squares, ceramic fragments, and wood, the evolution of TingaTinga has come a long way. And now for the first time in the collectives history, their art is being made public on-chain in the form of NFTs, continuing a global journey of humble origins that unites us all in a universal language of color, imagination, and aspirations.

Proceeds of this collection go to help fund the continuous operation of TingaTinga Arts Collective. With each purchase, you contribute your voice to this movements global narrative, and connect yourself to a Tanzanian tradition that remains unbroken six decades after it was founded.
