After showing at Galeria no Porto in Maputo and Centro Cultural Mozambique-Germany (Goethe), I had to take a sec and breathe deep.
It’s been amazingly vulnerable to share my work with the world - humbling indeed. I’ve had some gallery rejections and a spate of critical feedback I’ve got to incorporate at a deep level. Artwork is heart work, so I’m grateful to find my visual voice here.
Rose and Roxa (2025)
Back to the schedule! July is showing up in a big way.
Here’s what you need to know:
Next week, we’re doing high-res photos to upgrade my portfolio! Expect to see updates over the coming weeks.
On July 17, I’m launching my next show at the Nedbank Business Lounge in Maputo. Come by if you’re in town!
Last, I’m heading to the U.S. for an artist residency. This allows me to bring my unique works to collectors for the first time. I am opening 5 commissions slots to ensure everything I create finds the perfect home. If you’re interested, please email nafeesah@nafeesahallen.com for pricing and photo selection (I’m open to accepting a collector’s own vintage photos as a base).
So what now?
Call me. Beep me, if you wanna reach me.
If you’re game for owning one of my artworks, I would love to hear from you. Let’s make it happen!
Otherwise, I’m an artist’s artist. I love collaborating and geeking out on all things art. Don’t hesitate to link me if that’s your vibe too. Let’s connect. I’m game.
