The event was a resounding success, offering attendees a rare glimpse behind the curtain of Namala's vibrant and often challenging practice. Stepping away from the formal gallery setting, the Mukono studio proved to be the perfect backdrop, infusing the conversation with the raw energy of creation.

The "Karibu Talk" (meaning 'welcome') lived up to its name, fostering an atmosphere of genuine connection and open dialogue. Namala Olivia was incredibly generous with her time, sharing profound insights into her work.

Attendees praised the intimacy of the setting, noting that seeing the tools and unfinished works in progress made the final pieces feel much more tangible and alive.

Thank you to Namala Olivia for opening her sacred space and hosting such an inspiring afternoon.
