Author: Eria Solomon Nsubuga, Uganda
Title: Eria’s Uganda
Description: Narrates life in Uganda with words and drawings. Because of ignorance about AIDS and poverty, condoms are used more than once, children are sexually abused, and their heads are cut off as a healing ritual (in illustrations and writings). This work also shows how Ugandans are trying to emulate the West, with distorted effects on society's development; e.g. men who carry cell phones but fail to bathe. Africa is presented as a crawling baby, lost among adults. Drawings and text.
Of note: In this work, a Ugandan artist highlights the problems of his country while also criticizing contemporary art, a world he feels is dominated by Western mores.
