I went to AAG to view an exhibition titled "Come Sit With Me: The Diary if a Free Thinker" by Princess Komuntale Charlene. The underlying feminist and Mental health themes were portrayed exceptionally well through digital art that shared how the artist engages with different aspects of Feminism from both a realist and idealistic view. The use of contemporary symbolism also makes the pieces relatable and accessible even for non feminist audiences. I absolutely enjoyed myself and left feeling deeply inspired by Charlene's work. I highly recommend this exhibition which will be on till December 2023. It is also FREE to the public. Guided tours are also available by request. The Afri Art Gallery is also a beautiful space.

This is arguably the best art space/ gallery in Uganda. Good location because it can easily be accessed by someone once they are in Kampala. Ample space for exhibitions, great lighting, good. It’s a beautiful place where you can meet art enthusiasts and artists. They usually have periodic arts events going on. I would recommend a visit for any art lover who happens to be in Kampala.

It has nice art pieces with meaningful meanings. They change exhibitions regularly, so you can visit here many times. The worker was so kind. Furthermore, you can see them FOR FREE.
