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.

My father works as a Boda Boda man. Both my parents are so proud of it. At first, my father used to ride someone else’s motorcycle but I call in 2028, he bought his own from the money he had saved for a while. When he brought it home, my mother was the first person he carried on it. We were all so happy. – Banfula

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

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.

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
