Arinitwe Peter
I am an East Afrikan artist seeking social and environmental justice

As a Ugandan artist, I paint about issues affecting our societies’ that are detrimental to the development and progress of our people - from barbaric acts of female genital mutilation to humanity's destruction of our planet and the erosion of Afrikan indigenous culture.
 

I believe that an artist creates when there is a need to create:  I use mixed media  - from paintings to  public installations, theatrical exhibits and murals - to bring crowds closer to complex issues.

With a Bachelor's Degree in Art & Design in Education from Kyambogo University, Uganda, I have taught in schools and slum communities, and believe art is key to make issues accessible to all, no matter what age, sex or level of education.​
