University students recently showcased photo essays, photo collages, video installations, and mixed media artworks in an exhibition that focused on the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on people’s lives in Uganda and Kenya, and the just concluded general election in Uganda, among others.
The closure of institutions due to Covid-19 forced a number of teachers and lecturers to resort to working from home.
