Tuesday 11th October from 5 - 8pm in Gallery 12, at Cromwell Place, London SW7 2JE The exhibition runs until 16 October (Wednesday to Saturday 10am - 6pm & Sunday 10am - 4pm).
For Circle’s second year showing at Cromwell Place, we have chosen to focus on the older generation with a presentation of four artists from Kenya, Sudan and Uganda; Geoffrey Mukasa, Theresa Musoke, Mohamed Otaybi and Sane Wadu. These artists, whilst well known in their home countries have little or no recognition internationally. Born in the 1940s and 1950s and practicing in newly independent countries, Sane Wadu gave up being a school teacher to become a self-taught artist in the 80s, Theresa Musoke left Uganda to study at the Royal College of Art in London, Mohamed Otaybi was part of the debate about Sudanese culture and heritage as a member or the Khartoum School and Geoffrey Mukasa fled the Idi Amin regime to studio Fine Art in India. All 4 artists have been part of influencing generations of East African artists and have earned their right to be celebrated and appreciated.
