Research Interests
I am interested in the intersection of visual arts, human rights advocacy, and community empowerment, with a focus on depicting the lived experiences of marginalized groups such as the Batwa. I also explore transforming fine art into applied art to equip artists with the skills and opportunities needed to thrive in the commercial art market.
