Peter Oloya
Main Prize - 2008
Art and Transformation: Hope, Health and Human Rights
Artform: Sculpture
Ugandan sculptor Peter Oloya uses sculpture as a form of therapy to overcome a profound, personal trauma. When he was a child, he witnessed the deaths of friends and family who were victims of the bloody insurgency waged by the Lords Resistance Army (LRA). Peter's work draws on traditional African visual art to depict the savage reality of war. He is now teaching art therapy to Uganda's new generation.
