About
A curated art platform based in Dubai, for original work from artists the art world has overlooked.
The name
Nandi was a queen who never asked permission: the mother of Shaka Zulu, and a fierce leader in her own right. We carry her name because our artists share her nerve. They make bold work where there is no easy road for art, and too many barriers keep it from being seen in the places it deserves. We exist to change that.
Most of our work comes from Africa. We started in Zimbabwe, our founder’s home, and the collection now reaches from Zanzibar to Ubud in Indonesia.
Why we exist
Great artists are everywhere, and we bring their work to the world it deserves.
“It has been a privilege to grow up as a Zimbabwean who has been fortunate to see so much more of the world, not only diversifying my viewpoint but really expanding my appreciation for what Africa has to offer. It is my desire, and to some degree I feel my responsibility, to start an exhibition platform for Zimbabwean and African artists alike, and create a space that incites and engages art lovers around the world. Art is my passion and The House of Nandi’s aim is to be a looking glass into Africa’s creative expression.”
Mun Wasterfall, founder
How we work
We sit with the artists, watch them work and learn how they see the world.
Every piece is picked in person. Every painting is one of a kind; prints are numbered editions.
Over 50 works are in Dubai today, with hundreds more in the artists' studios.
In the UAE we bring a shortlist to your wall before you decide, then deliver and hang it. Anywhere else, we ship.
A work you have seen, a wall you want to fill, or a space that needs something people will ask about. Mun answers himself.
