In addition to speaking about their personal works, the participating artists discussed the conditions under which they operate and brainstormed ideas of addressing the problems they experienced.
A symposium organized by Njabala Foundation and AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibition
The Pillars of Rectitude project aims to reclaim time for East African women artists whose work has undergone systematic erasure thereby inspiring the young generation of female East African artists.
A large portion of my work rests in the belief that women artists deserve to be recognised and acknowledged for their contributions to art history. I believe that women in general need to be enabled to reach their full potential and to blossom. Through Njabala Foundation, I am delighted to pilot opportunities that bring women at the center but also create a space for meaningful reflection and inspiration.
Third edition, the Annual Njabala Exhibition (ANE) 2024 titled Njabala: An elegy
I am delighted to present the second iteration of the Annual Njabala foundation exhibition.
