Theme: Rest, care and labour
Where: Makerere Art Gallery
WhenL Wednesday 8 March – Saturday 8 April 2023
“Njabala: Holding Space is an exhibition about the efforts to rest and organize time in a world designed to constantly exploit women. Inspired by Njabala folklore’s portrayal of Njabala as the “lazy girl”, the exhibition explores (mis)interpretations of rest, care and labor, especially in a Ugandan context. Ugandan artist Pamela Enyonu as well as the three artists who were accepted for the Annual Njabala Open Call of 2021 namely Birungi Kawooya, Mable Akeu and Pepita Biraaro have been reflecting on the themes through 2022 and have made new works for the exhibition.”
I am so fortunate be an artist in residence with both Njabala Foundation and 32° East their support and mentorship has made my work possible and I am eternally grateful. I am also fortunate to be funded by Arts Council England.
