The first thing you fall in love with when you enter the Taweydo gallery is the light. \nWarm sand, a hushed ambience, and this imposing bench, carved out of the mass. The decor is set, time is suspended, and the setting is ideal for contemplating the artworks.<\/p>\n\n

Founded by artist Diassibo Tchionmano, the Taweydo gallery opened its doors in 2007. Born of the need for artists to exhibit their work in an accessible venue, the gallery, nestled in Dar Es Salam, a popular district of the Niger capital, hosts exhibitions, screenings, workshops and events. \nUnique, original and rich, the gallery also aims to introduce young people to art. Dias takes up the challenge of introducing young Nigeriens to the practice of art. With a space open to all, he invites them to understand art, to give free rein to their imagination and to express themselves through any medium, beyond stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n

The Taweydo gallery has established itself as an indispensable venue for art and culture in Niger, showcasing the talents of today and unearthing those of tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n
