Modern Batik Workshop in collaboration with Deaf Link Uganda and David Kibuuka

At the end of March 2021, seven deaf young visual artists were introduced by renowned artist David Kibuuka into the technique of modern batik art to learn an additional technique in the field of visual arts. Apart from introducing the young artists to the technique of using wax and dyes on fabric to diversify and promote their artistic talents, the workshop aimed at creating awareness about the deaf youths´ potential abilities and extraordinary talents showing that they are an invaluable human resource that is key to economic development, but still marginalized.
