September, 2024

This series is a five-year-long project that is finally coming to fruition for The Artist Oliver James and Hope of Mercy Ministries Uganda. This project is a series of portraits of the children at HMMU. Dressed in some of the biggest fashion brands, with patterns from 'Dutch Wax' fabric and traditional Ugandan attire, this series looks to not only raise money to help provide for the children of HMMU but to call out the interwoven history of colonialism on the content of Africa, textile waste and its role in systemic oppression. Join us at Busboys and Poets on 14th and V this September to raise money for HMMU.
