Efie Gallery, Dubai
United Arab Emirates


Efie Gallery is a contemporary art gallery in Dubai specialising in the representation and advancement of artists of African origin, both from the African continent and its global diaspora. Since its inception in 2021, and the opening of its permanent space in 2022 in Al Khayat Art Avenue, the gallery has been establishing itself as a global platform for some of Africa’s most significant artists. In addition to its wide-ranging roster of artists and exhibitions, the gallery operates a dynamic residency programme that facilitates collaborations with local artists, institutions and community members, supporting artists in the narrative and vision of their work. 

Activated in the Rekord Gallery space, the library welcomes visitors to engage with a dedicated collection of works from writers/collectives of African descent and relevant regional publications. 

With collaboration and community engagement being a cornerstone of the residency, we work closely with Efie Gallery to develop a wide variety of public programmes that are relevant to the themes present in both our collection and the exhibitions on show at the gallery.

The library hours are 11am - 6pm, Monday - Saturday.
