Wabwila Mugala
Bio
Wabwila’s work engages with what feels inherently familiar and what feels foreign, a tension I lived out daily. She openly displays the feelings of guilt, gratitude, shame and many other emotions she has experienced while growing up in the global west. Rather than reject these parts of herself, she embraces them by layering images that speak to the idea that she is the sum total of all her experiences – an interwoven matrix of cultures, language, and identity.
