Art in Motion: Migration, Mobility, and Humanity with Odur Ronald

In this episode of The East African Perspective, I sit down with Odur Ronald, one of Uganda’s most exciting contemporary artists, whose work turns aluminum and copper into living reflections of power, identity, and human struggle.

We talk about the intersection of art, humanity, and society, and how creativity can document history, question authority, and open new ways of seeing our place in the world. From childhood memories of collecting scrap in Katwe to exhibiting on global stages, Odur’s journey is a story of resilience, vision, and uncompromising expression.

This is not just an art conversation, it’s a mirror into who we are as East Africans, how we are seen, and how we choose to see ourselves.
