In 2023, I began the journey of documenting the lives of iconic Ugandan women through poetry. It has been such an uplifting, eye-opening and heartfelt process.
I have revitalized my firm belief that there are thousands of people whose lives have shaken old myths and whose lives have rattled patriarchal hierarchies.
Lillian Nabaggala is an interdisciplinary artist; a dancer, choreographer, fashion specialist and film director. Her artistry is fundamental to the conversation of the arts, because through dance, she interprets tradition, contemporary discourse, mental faculty and diversity.
With thanks from the support of British Council and TICAH - Trust for Indigenous Culture and Health, getting to know her has been an absolute pleasure.
When the book is out, I'll let you know.
The project is managed by Babishai Niwe Poetry Foundation.
