"EAST AFRICA IN RENAISSANCE"

Fine Arts Center for East Africa

Paintings by Ugandan artists David Kibuuka, James Kitamirike, and Dan
Sekanwagi explore personal visions and cultivate new cultural identities for
East Africa's emerging artistic Renaissance. This exhibit marks the historic reunion (after 20 years) of three leading
members of the Ugandan school of fine painting.
During the 1970s and early 1980s, Kibuuka, Kitamirike, and Sekanwagi were
considered three of the most influential and accomplished fine painters whose
art defined the internationally recognized art scene in Nairobi, Kenya. Since
that time, all three artists have worked individually to spearhead the
recognition of Uganda's contemporary arts movement; this historic reunion and
exhibition embodies the vitality of East Africa's Cultural Renaissance.
