About
We make paintings, mosaics and recycled paper and plastic artworks, created by refugee artists and young people in Uganda.
Impact
Great talent can be found in the most unexpected places. Giving these artists space and exposure can change their lives while challenging global perceptions of refugees.
Progress
We have been making art since 2021 and have exhibited our work at various exhibitions and cultural events in Spain and Uganda, and illustrated a children’s book which was printed in Spain in 2025.
Team
We are a grassroots group with limited resources but enormous talent. Our work demonstrates the creativity, resilience and potential that can emerge when vulnerable refugees are given an opportunity.
