The Unseen Me is an exhibition themed with bridging the gap between society and the vulnerable kids on the streets through portraying their unseen abilities.
The exhibition will aim at showcasing to society how much potential these children poses through enormous talents and works that will be presented by them alongside other artists through poetry, painting, crafts, video screening among others.
The event is organised by Streetlights Uganda and is to be held on Saturday 4th of February, 2017 at Underground-Contemporary Art Space, Nakumatt Oasis Mall Basement from
5:00pm to 10:00pm.
The activities to be done include; poetry, contemporary dance, live painting, video screening, beat boxing among others. It will be curated by Kei Hashimoto a curator at the Underground Contemporary Art Space.
Streetlights Uganda is a registered local non-profit organization that was formed in 2014 by four former art students at Makerere University with a vision “To see a world free of street children as well as bridging the unemployment gap.”
We believe art is a great tool for social change which offers a platform for these vulnerable groups to express themselves and in turn empower others to become change agents
and create positive impact in their communities.
