Information:
 "Mama
Africa" Women's Museum & Art Centre was opened in
February 2010. The centre was founded and is managed by the
celebrated Gambian artist Mrs. Isha Fofana who returned home
after spending nearly 10 years operating her German gallery
as well as making overseas displays. Her artwork is primarily
done on large canvasses using vivid colours and she has painted
and had exhibitions in Asia as well as Europe.
The art gallery displays sculptures, paintings, and installations
from artists working
in the West Africa sub-region. It is part of a loose, worldwide
network of Women’s Museums, initiatives and museums dedicated
to women.
In September 2013 the Museum found a new home between Tanji
Village Museum and the fishing village. It is a two storey
building complex.
