Uganda Documentary - Empowerment Through Art in Africa

Through Artfully AWARE, the Ugandan based AfA Africa Team continues to develop sustainable educational programs for these featured Tororo communities along with adults and children in Gulu, Northern Uganda. Please visit www.artfullyaware.org to learn more about their continued work in Africa. Hilary Wallis is the founder and Executive Director of Artfully AWARE (AfA), an international not for profit organization that connects communities, collaborates with local partners and generates positive change in peoples lives through advocacy events and innovative community development projects. Together with Ugandan artist Justin Igala, they created the Empowerment Through Art program in Uganda in 2006, with the goal of providing artistic services to members of vulnerable communities as a means of education, psycho-social care, disseminating vital public health information and enriching social and emotional development. By engaging these communities, Empowerment Through Art promoted awareness and inspired advocacy by allowing community members to share their stories with others. Organizing a touring exhibition of Ugandan artwork in the United States and Europe at schools and festivals - including a show at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 2006 and later as part of an event at The New Orleans Museum of Art in 2012 - Hilary also authored the system's program manual, educational materials for U.S. schools and produced a documentary telling the beginning of the Empowerment Through Art story.
