Afriart Gallery is thrilled to present a landmark exhibition celebrating Henry 'Mzili' Mujunga's extensive body of work, which spans an impressive 25 years of artistic practice. This exhibition features never-before-seen new pieces alongside a retrospective look at his earlier explorations in printmaking, mixed media painting, and others.Mzili’s artistic journey is characterized by a relentless curiosity to experiment with diverse materials, reflecting the rich tapestry of influences drawn from his travels across Africa and Europe. His connections forged along these journeys, coupled with pan-Africanistideals, inform his identity as a self-proclaimed Indigenous Expressionist who remains deeply rooted in his Ugandan heritage.This exhibition not only showcases Mzili’s inquisitive work throughout the years but also emphasizes the importance of contextualizing artwithin local narratives.
