A few words about your artistic career
I studied at Buruburu Institute of Fine Art 2010. In my art I use a range of materials and techniques to visualise my message and thoughts. I have exhibited my work in numerous art shows in East Africa, Europe, the United States and Australia. Recently, I won the first "Manjano 2018" Award.
How long have you been an artist?
I started my practice in 2012 as a commercial artist; and later transited into contemporary practice from 2015.
Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?
As part of this generation of artists facing a pandemic, this grant offers me the opportunity to express myself at this difficult time. It challenges me to explore new ways of being creative, to reach new audiences while using my creativity, intelligence and resources to raise awareness in my community and beyond.
What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?
To use the experience and lessons of this period to direct my practice and use my work to influence social change while pushing new frontiers in our global communities.
