About Art by Dangana
Art by Dangana is more than a business—it is a celebration of African culture, heritage, and artistry. Founded by Alheri Bingi, the brand is rooted in the desire to educate, inspire, and empower through the rich storytelling of African batik art. Each piece created by Art by Dangana serves as a vibrant reflection of Africa's diverse traditions and histories, offering a meaningful connection to its cultural roots.
Guided by Alheri’s deep passion for cultural representation, Art by Dangana reimagines traditional African batik to create bold, modern decor. The intricate patterns and vivid colors are not just decorative but symbolic, each telling a story that bridges the past and present. These artworks are carefully crafted to ignite conversations, foster appreciation for Africa’s cultural depth, and bring its beauty into spaces around the world.
With over a decade of experience in sales and five years as an entrepreneur, Alheri has built Art by Dangana into a dynamic brand that merges artistic excellence with business acumen. Her background sales professional and her MBA from a prestigious Canadian university provide the foundation for the brand’s success. These experiences empower her to deliver art that not only resonates emotionally but also meets the highest standards of quality and customer experience.
Art by Dangana’s mission is rooted in cultural education and representation. From its vibrant designs to its intentional storytelling, the brand aims to showcase the multifaceted beauty of Africa and challenge stereotypes through art. Alheri’s Nigerian heritage serves as a guiding force in creating pieces that celebrate the continent’s traditions while appealing to a global audience.
Beyond the art itself, Alheri’s role as an Executive in Residence at Mount Allison University, where she mentors and trains young entrepreneurs, reflects the values that drive Art by Dangana. Her work is a testament to the power of art and education as tools for empowerment and connection.
At its core, Art by Dangana is about more than creating art—it is about building a bridge between cultures, sparking dialogue, and inspiring a deeper understanding of Africa’s vibrant history. Every piece is an invitation to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the essence of African culture.
“Through Art by Dangana, I want to show the world the beauty, depth, and complexity of Africa—one story, one design, and one conversation at a time.”
