Brush Strokes of a Tinga Tinga Master

Step into the vibrant world of Tinga Tinga — a bold, colorful, and uniquely Tanzanian art form. In this short film by Moses Kyungai, we meet Matei Sabas, a contemporary master who carries the torch of this tradition deep in the jungle outside Moshi, Tanzania. Through detailed brushwork and imaginative storytelling, Matei honors the lineage of Tinga Tinga while infusing it with his own spirit and vision.
This film is part of the Art of Mastery series — a global documentary project celebrating traditional mastery and cultural heritage through the lens of local filmmakers and artists from around the world.
