Reflection captures the way our communities shape us and how we, in turn, mirror them. It delves into the layers of identity formed by the places we inhabit and the people we encounter. Through this work, I explore how our experiences—both uplifting and challenging—forge our resilience, highlighting the dynamic relationship between self and society. This piece speaks to the subtle yet profound ways that our surroundings etch themselves onto us, leaving imprints of shared life and personal growth.

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.Â

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 favourite wild animal is a giraffe. I love it because of its height, spots and also its ability to eat leaves on top of trees. In this artwork, I have also painted butterflies as they fly towards my favourite animal. I hope you love butterflies too. – Ashameza

Agriculture is the backbone of Uganda because it provides us with food. When you plant your seeds, you have a hope to harvest at the right time. When you don’t plant, there’s nothing to harvest at all. This artwork is of me together with my mother and young sister while planting some vegetables in our backyard garden. –Najjuma

During the lockdown, we planted a lot of crops including maize, cabbage and other vegetables so that they could grow fast and provide us with the food we needed since my parents were no longer working. When we were planting, it was so tiring but when it reached harvesting time, everyone was so happy since we saw the reward of our energy. I can’t forget that time – Mulukusa

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. This work explores a young girl with extreme self-worth with flowers blossoming all over her.Â
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.

In 21centery black people are still considered as products that can be SOLD and BOUGHT !!?, that’s TERRIBLE!, No one can understand their voices that why to try to speak out for them maybe people can understand and help them. Like Tupac once said, “I can’t change the world but I can change the minds of people who can the world”. I know too I can change the world but I can connect as many minds as possible and inspire change” – Makano
