Keeping Safe From COVID-19, 2020

ABSTRACT

In the 2018 series Dreams and Consequences, I navigated the subject of behavioral norms by studying the practices of young people on university campuses. In her artistic practice, Nabulime uses ordinary objects such as soap, sieves, clothing, mirrors, cans, metal parts of cars, and other found materials to address specific social issues related to disease, gender, and the environment. Nabulime has been awarded numerous fellowships, including the Commonwealth Fellowship Award (UK, 1997, 2012), Robert Sterling Fellowship, Vermont Studio Center (USA, 2011), African Stones Talk Sculpture Symposium (Kenya, 2011), British Academy International Visiting Fellowship (UK, 2009 and 2008, and a Residency Award by Mind Power Projects at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and Living Classrooms in Baltimore, Maryland (2015).
