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.

In this artwork, I painted my parents returning from work. Whenever my father is done with his work, he usually goes to pick my mother at her workplace and they return together. By evening, we are always looking through the windows to see if they are on their way. When we see them, we are always excited especially when they come carrying something in their hands – Dakira

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

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
