Artist: Julien Mapatano Safari,14 years,  Congolese

In 2018,  he started to draw and learned about art as an opportunity from the Nakivaale refugee settlement located in the Isingiro district. He dreams of being a great artist in the world one day. He says that staying in a refugee settlement has allowed him to have a lot of time on his hands, and he uses it to make art. He paints about school life, Pan Africanism, and daily life. Being part of this exhibition is a dream come true.  He advises fellow children to study hard when they have an opportunity because not everyone has the same opportunity.
