Tribal Gallery Events
Showcasing the works of remarkable artists from across Africa and Asia. Celebrations of art, culture and cuisine.
Tribal Gallery works with artists from Kenya and across Africa and Asia to bring some of the region's most exciting art to Nairobi.
The events are very special occasions, bringing together artists, artisans and friends old and new.
Events and exhibitions run several times throughout the year, where we celebrate and enjoy the work of individual artists and some of the cultures and movements that have inspired the Tribal Gallery collection.
Every art event at Tribal Gallery is curated and presented in an individual and unique way.
Recent events in Nairobi have included Eltayeb Dawelbait’s inspired portraits – conveying a profound depth of emotion belying the simple strokes of the artist, and Fitsum Berhe’s exquisite yet intense, bold works. Other shows have included Rashid Diab – whose stunning, vibrantly coloured impressionist works are inspired by his Sudanese heritage, and Mariantonietta Peru – whose magical photographs emphasising the crucial relationship between humanity and nature have been captured during her travels across Africa.
The fine dining events held at our home in Loresho, Nairobi are inspired by and echo the cultures from which the Tribal Gallery collections originate.
The gallery is the unique setting for a magical dining experience.
Indoors, candlelight illuminates hand-created furniture up-cycled from old dhow sailing ships, antique North Asian pieces and beautiful fabrics collected from across Africa and Asia. The shadows of the open fire play across the artwork of leading contemporary African artists.
Meanwhile, outdoors on the terrace, guests lounge on thick, cosy floor cushions, carpets frame low hardwood dining tables and the air is scented by tropical plants and flowers.
