Our story
A home for artists the art world has overlooked, and for the people who want to own their work.
The name
Named after a queen
Nandi was the mother of Shaka Zulu, the warrior-king who built the Zulu nation. Her vibrant spirit left a deep mark on African culture.
We look for the same spirit in an artist: people who paint what they see, unapologetically, whether or not anyone is watching.
Why we exist
Out of the shadows
There are brilliant artists whose work rarely leaves the place it was made. Many have never been fairly represented. Our founder, Mun Wasterfall, was born and raised in Zimbabwe and saw how hard times breed an abundance of creativity: art made to get by, and far beyond that, to show the beauty in ordinary lives.
We bring that work to the people who want to learn about it, appreciate it and own it. We represent the underrepresented.
How we work
- 01
We visit the artists’ studios
From Harare to rural Zimbabwe, across Africa and beyond. We spend time with each artist and watch them work.
- 02
We choose by hand
Every work is chosen in person. Every painting is one of a kind.
- 03
We bring it to Dubai
Much of the collection is already in Dubai, ready to see on your wall. The rest ships from the artists’ studios on request.
- 04
It finds its wall
Buy from anywhere, or lease in the UAE. We ship worldwide, and in the UAE we deliver and hang it.
