Turakella (Tura) is an art curator and multidisciplinary artist based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Inspired by human nature and its adaptation to a rapidly changing world, she challenges collective preconceptions around intersectionality, identity, and belonging. Tura envisions a human being whose identity transcends rigid social associations and whose place in society is shaped not only by personal experiences but also by a connection to existence that extends beyond physical embodiment.
After completing her university education, Tura joined the Nafasi Art Space Academy for a Curatorial Practice and Art Management program in 2021. Since then, she has curated several exhibitions and art projects in Tanzania, including solo exhibitions at Alliance Française, residency programs at MAZI Arts and Culture, and workshop programs at the Goethe-Institut Dar es Salaam.
