Njabala Foundation

Njabala is a multi-faceted campaign sourcing inspiration from a popular Ugandan folklore of Njabala to facilitate visibility for women artists. Around the globe, the visibility of women artists in comparison to their male counterparts is worryingly unequal. With major collections and art spaces dominated by male artists and their work, women artists find it a daily challenge to navigate the art scenes. To facilitate the possibility for the work of women artists to be seen, Njabala Foundation in various ways campaigns against gender inequality in the art world by organizing art exhibitions and events exclusively dedicated to highlighting the work of women artists. Njabala Foundation was founded by curator Martha Kazungu in 2021 after several years of operating informally. Njabala Foundation model involves collaborating with already existing spaces to champion the agenda of women artists. By supporting Njabala Foundation you will be contributing to the correction of historical gender biases hence accelerating showcasing the richness of the work of women artists.
