The Distance between Yesterday and Tomorrow

This publication explores
notions of African identity
through the works of
contemporary East African
artists including Sungi
Mlengeya, Tahir Carl Karmali,
Lemek Tompoika, Eria
Nsubuga Sane, Agnes
Waruguru, Migadde Adrian,
and Trevor Aloka. Exploring
themes of memory, migration,
place, and gender, it aims to
dialogue with present-day
events and past happenings in
hope of imagining alternative
realities in the future. Working
with various media, each artist
in this publication dialogues
with the complexities of the
African identity, and
challenges the preconceived
notion of what it means to be
African, examining multiple
understandings within a
historical and political context.
