Pamela Enyonu

Pamela Enyonu is a Ugandan multimedia artist based in Kampala. Her practice probes identity, history, and gender complexities. In 2018, Enyonu received the inaugural Makumbya Musoke Art Prize. Since then she has workshopped, exhibited and done residencies in Africa, Europe and the UK, notably Africa 1:1 in Venice and the DKC Residency at York University (both 2023). Her work was featured in museum exhibitions such as Ca’ Pesaro Museum Venice (2023) where she confronted the idea of home in and as a foreign body for the first time. This not only enriched her experience on what it means to thrive as a black body moving through the world, it also enhanced her visual vocabulary.

Her work was also featured at Makerere University Gallery, Kampala (2023), KunstmuseumWolfsburg (2022), as well as Africa 2020, Marseille (2021). Enyonu’s work is part of notable public and private collections, including, Moleskine Foundation (Italy), Africa First Collection (Israel), Valmont Foundation (Switzerland), and Ca’ Pesaro Museum (Italy).
