Exhibition Details

AKKA Project is excited to announce the special projects we have incorporated into our ongoing seven-month-long African Identities group exhibition. During Cyrus Kabiru solo exhibition, A Small World, the Venice Residency program will include the onboarding of the new selected resident artist. AKKA Project is excited to reveal that this year's AKKA Project Venice Artist Residency program will feature artist Pamela Enyonu. The residency is located at AKKA Project Venezia situated in the cultural and artistic heart of the Venetian lagoon. Pamela Enyonu is a Ugandan artist living in Kampala who graduated from Kyambogo University Banda in Art and Design. She draws inspiration from gender, identity, empowerment, and self-awareness narratives to create works that balance and offset the personal with a deeply rooted message.
During Pamela’s two months residency at AKKA Project, she will be able to explore and challenge her creative processes. This time allows the artist to work on a concept, research, reflect, immerse themselves and get inspired by Venice. The artist-in-residence will draw inspiration from Venice, the Italian territory, its culture, colors, and traditions. The residency outcome will be exhibited as a solo show at AKKA Project Venice in the coming year.
