HAMAC is a living space for drawing, painting, cultural dialogue and the kind of expression that refuses to be silenced.
Zanzibar · Nairobi · Dakar
HAMAC was born from a simple belief: that art belongs to everyone and culture is best explored together. We are an open collective of artists, curators, and storytellers bridging drawing, painting, and living cultural practice.
From intimate sketches to monumental works, every piece carries a conversation — about identity, place, memory, and what it means to make something by hand.
Intensive workshops from figure studies to architectural sketching, led by practitioners at the height of their craft.
WorkshopThoughtful group and solo shows that challenge and celebrate — emerging voices alongside established masters.
ExhibitionSix-week immersive residencies: studio space, critical dialogue, mentorship, and access to a global artist network.
ResidencyBespoke artwork for collectors, institutions, and public spaces — from intimate drawings to large-scale murals.
CommissionPanels and intimate conversations exploring art, identity, memory, and the politics of making things by hand.
TalkQuarterly markets connecting collectors with original works. Prints, originals, and multiples at accessible prices.
