Artist Spotlight | Valerie Asiimwe Amani

Valerie Asiimwe Amani's practice unfolds at the intersection of memory, place, and the body. Through textile, tufting, and sculptural forms, she creates works that consider how histories, relationships, and imagined worlds become woven into our understanding of self.

Blurring the boundaries between anatomy and landscape, her work reflects on the body as a site of transformation that carries the traces of migration, longing, intimacy, and belonging.

What We Carry at Africa Basel , where Rangi Gallery brought together the work of three contemporary East African artists exploring memory, identity, loss, connection, and transformation.

Unlimited is where contemporary art breaks free from the confines of the traditional gallery booth. Dedicated to monumental, museum-scale works, it showcases ambitious installations, immersive environments, large-scale sculptures, performances, video works, and site-specific creations that simply couldn't exist in a standard fair setting.

Walking through Unlimited feels less like visiting an art fair and more like stepping into one of the world's leading contemporary art museums. It offers a rare glimpse into the latest curatorial approaches, how top galleries present ambitious artistic visions, and the possibilities of large-scale contemporary art.

For Rangi Gallery, visiting Unlimited was both inspiring and educational, a chance to study the future of exhibition-making and imagine how we can continue to push boundaries and bring those ideas home through Rangi Gallery.

Thanks to and the for supporting this journey and helping us gain first hand experience and learn in person and up close.

Artist Spotlight | Ngollo

Ngollo Mlengeya's abstract paintings explore the emotional landscapes of memory, grief, healing, and hope. Through richly textured surfaces built with sawdust and paint, she creates works that hold both vulnerability and strength, inviting moments of reflection rather than fixed interpretation.

Her series "Cycles" traces the rhythms of life and the ways loss reshapes our understanding of love, resilience, and belonging. Each work speaks to the deeply personal nature of grief while revealing the emotions that connect us across individual experience.

A dream that once felt almost impossible became a reality.

For the very first time, Rangi Gallery had the honour of participating in , one of the world's most important gatherings of collectors, curators, galleries, and lovers of contemporary art.

The VIP Vernissage was an unforgettable moment. We were deeply humbled to be surrounded by so many of our greatest champions, supporters, and friends, whose presence and encouragement meant more than words can express.

What followed was even more extraordinary. The warmth, curiosity, and appreciation with which our artists' work was received exceeded every expectation. Witnessing visitors connect so deeply with the stories, perspectives, and talent emerging from Tanzania filled us with immense pride and set an inspiring tone for the rest of the fair. It was a truly exceptional beginning to an unforgettable week.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the and for believing in this journey and for their invaluable support in helping us present Tanzanian artistic excellence on an international stage.

To everyone who visited our booth, engaged with our artists, shared thoughtful conversations, and believed in our vision, Thank you. Your support reminds us why we do this work. Together, we continue to build meaningful bridges through art, culture, and human connection.

Artist Spotlight | Masoud Kibwana

Working across painting and textile, Masoud creates layered compositions that merge material, memory, and cultural history. His use of reclaimed fabric is both a formal and conceptual gesture, reflecting on the ways individual experiences come together to shape collective identity.

Rooted in East African cultural traditions yet deeply contemporary in their language, Masoud's works invite viewers to consider resilience, belonging, and the enduring power of human connection.

We were proud to present "What We Carry" at Africa Basel , an international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora, held during Art Basel week in Basel, Switzerland.

Bringing together the works of Valerie Asiimwe Amani , Masoud Kibwana, and Ngollo , the exhibition explored memory, identity, loss, connection, and transformation through painting, abstraction, textile, and mixed media.

As part of Africa Basel's growing platform for African contemporary art, "What We Carry" contributed to an international dialogue on the stories, histories, and experiences that shape who we are and what we carry forward.
