About

Celebrating creativity. Preserving stories. Creating opportunity.

Tunakupenda is a Community Interest Company working across visual and performing arts. It presents and promotes new and established artists through exhibitions, recording, publishing, management, creative development and international exposure.

Mission

To promote new and existing talent worldwide.

Vision

To create meaningful encounters between artists, audiences and communities while preserving important cultural stories for future generations.

Why Tunakupenda exists

Tunakupenda was created because important work was being made and then quietly disappearing — collections held in storage, performances that left no record, artists without a route to an audience.

“Tunakupenda” carries the sense of we love you. “Celebrate Creativity” is the working instruction that follows from it: put the work in front of people, treat it seriously, and make sure the story around it survives.

As a Community Interest Company, Tunakupenda's assets and surpluses are committed to its community purpose rather than to private benefit.
