As part of the Moving Identities Festival in May 2022, the Alliance Française de Kampala and the Goethe Zentrum Kampala/ UGCS joined forces to organise a three-day painting workshop in the Nakivale refugee camp. During this workshop, the refugees were accompanied by two painters to create their paintings. The aim of this exhibition is to show another image of the people living in refugee camps.
These works tell stories of family, courage and struggle, which are sublimated by the artist’s practice. This exhibition allows us to see how we can change our history through art. Most of the artists were painting their own stories. This workshop was also aimed to give them hope that they can do something with their talent and they may be able to make a living from their art.
