Out of Africa – The Ugandan North

Exhibition at Gallery Pangolin

17/01/2026 - 14/03/2026

Accomplished artists Isaac Okwir and Peter Oloya are both Ugandan sculptors who have participated in numerous Ruwenzori Foundation residencies and Rwenzori Founders workshops.

Peter Oloya’s exploration of African culture is profound, presenting himself as both a custodian of tradition, close to his Acholi roots, and a man of the modern world.

Isaac Okwir works directly in wax, elegantly describing form, movement and volume in his sculptures of animals and figures deftly constructing them with sheets of wax. Through this chosen medium, he eloquently and fluently translates his most instinctive and deepest observations.
