Title: In this together
Size: 80cm X 70cm
Media: mixed media Nabulime is an 18-year-old multimedia artist. Her artworks seek to echo the life and struggles of young girls to engage the audience in examining the silenced world of teenage girls. While she uses a variety of materials and processes in each art piece, her methodology is consistent.
She has no grand illusions that art will create a revolution in the traditional sense, but she has witnessed the powerful changes it can make in an individual. Just one new idea can change a person’s perception. Creating art isn’t just an occupation to her; it’s a passion she enjoys bringing life to the canvas with vibrant colours and finding new ways to make people see things.

Apio is 19 years, Ugandan. She started drawing while still very young at her primary level. She used to draw things like stickmen, flowers, boys and girls holding hands, and trees just like any other child. The objects she draws about now are out of the world. She doesn’t enjoy drawing interiors but imaginary things. She loves art as well as fashion and hopes to pursue both. Apio has an eye for art, and she loves everything artistic and enjoys putting things together. She also thinks that, later on, she will venture into events. As an artist, she gets her inspiration online, especially when she sees artworks from other artists. She doesn’t like to draw human faces because they give her a hard time, but she also knows that that’s not an excuse.
