UGANDA - Lilian Nabulime (b.1963) is a lecturer and was head of the Sculpture Department at Makerere University, Uganda. At present she is a PhD candidate in the U.K. Her pieces here are concerned with the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS. Her message to women is that they should reevaluate their sexual conduct because statistics show that more women are infected by the disease than men. Her faces, carved in wood, are the masks of people trying to hide their plight; her glass test tubes contain the various tragedies that are in store for the afflicted. None of the consequences can be predicted. Viewing the test tubes, we face an enigma because the initial visual response is to concentrate on the interesting, varied contents, putting aside the message. The Knots speak to the fact that, because of poverty, so many women get trapped in risky relationships which expose them to AIDS. The cowrie shells are symbols of strength that can empower women.
