Who we are
Founded in June 2024 by Laura Twagirayezu, UMUTI:MA is a Dublin-based art gallery dedicated to celebrating the depth and diversity of African contemporary art. As a vibrant cultural hub, we aim to amplify the voices and perspectives of African artists and artists of African descent, providing them with a platform to share their stories, experiences, and creativity with the world.
Our journey began with a remarkable launch event that drew over 150 visitors, affirming Dublin’s enthusiasm for diverse artistic expressions. At UMUTI:MA, we curate visual art exhibitions that encompass a wide array of mediums, from evocative photography and striking paintings to groundbreaking 3D renderings, sculptures, and video art. Beyond exhibitions, we also organize film screenings and collaborate with corporate partners to integrate art into everyday spaces.
More than just an art gallery, UMUTI:MA is a movement—committed to fostering inclusivity, representation, and cultural dialogue. Through community partnerships, cultural events, and accessible programming like guided tours, workshops, and panel discussions, we strive to make the art world approachable and reflective of Dublin’s diverse population.
At UMUTI:MA, we believe art has the power to transform, inspire, and connect communities. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a corporate visionary, or simply curious, we invite you to explore the wealth of talent and creativity we have to offer. Together, let’s shape a more inclusive and vibrant cultural landscape.
