Life and Me delves into the intimate journey of resilience and self-reliance, capturing the grit and inner strength that propel us forward regardless of the weight of our past or the uncertainty of our present. This track confronts the universal quest for hope, echoing the expectation others often hold of us—how far we’ll go, how unyielding we’ll be. But at its core, Life and Me is a declaration: the recognition that salvation lies within. We are, ultimately, the heroes we seek, capable of shaping our own destinies and confronting life’s trials with unwavering resolve.
The artwork engages themes of identity, displacement, and self-search. Aksanti B., 2003, is a Congolese refugee artist based in Kampala; his work explores his life as a young refugee male who steps off his like, trying to make meaning with the space he interacts with and the people he meets. He shapes his dream with one brush stroke at a time. His work was exhibited at the UN headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Every animal deserves to have a home. A place where it can sleep without being disturbed. This artwork is about a birdhouse that community members built for a bird that woke them up every day. This story was from a book that I read, but I don’t remember the name. What I recall is how beautiful the bird was and its house too. – Swabura

My father works in Kosovo trading centre as a Boda Boda rider. They have a stage where they park their motorcycles in front of a mobile money shop. At their stage, when they see a customer coming, every one of them rushes to go and pick him or her. He tells me that life there is fun but sometimes challenging because some days, he can return without any money because customers are lost. I did this artwork to celebrate my father and his job, I hope to become a doctor when I grow up and support my family. – Agaba

Title: Changed James
Size: 55cm x 60cm
Media: acrylics on canvas
This artwork talks about a man who changed from being a drunkard to becoming a responsible person.
Mayambala, 16 years, Ugandan. Just like when people enjoy football, he enjoys comics. Julius loves to draw every time. At school, no one knew about comic art, and now, many know him as a comic artist. He started drawing when he was a senior because he enjoyed reading comic books. One day, he challenged himself to draw all the animations he watched. He wants to get better and use his comics to educate people about different things and entertain them. As he learns more about comics–he wants to venture into photography, videography, animations, and movies. As a research-oriented artist, this has helped him better his style and content. He walks to internet cafes to surf and learn more about comics, other artists in the world.
