Hurumzi Henna Art Gallery The women of Hurumzi Henna Art Gallery transform traditional henna body arts into paintings and prints using a centuries old tradition.

The women of Hurumzi Henna Art Gallery transform traditional henna body arts into paintings and prints . Using a centuries old tradition of adorning women’s hands and feet for celebrations such as weddings and festivals, the artists translate the patterns of the body art onto canvas creating a new and soon to be iconic art style through their elaborate paintings. What began as a workshop for 10 wo

men henna artists in 2007 became a thriving women’s cooperative engendering an entirely new style of painting. The results are vibrant and exciting designs characterized by swirling forms and bold floral motifs surrounded by repeating background patterns. This style is uniquely their own; it does not resemble other East African painting styles and represents the exciting creation of what is clearly a Zanzibari invention.Within the larger style each woman has her own unique way of working with motif, color and pattern. On most days, you may visit the women painting and printmaking in their art studio above the gallery at 242 Hurumzi Street.
