Zambian born Jackie Mwanza is a visual artist and a museum curator. She has exhibited her artwork in solo and group shows in the UK and Africa. As an experienced art workshop facilitator she has lead workshops for the African & Caribbean Educational Department at the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) in London for over 12 years among other institutions including schools, youth clubs and adult education colleges.
She says, “Ubuntu Museum was born out of a need to share my experiences of being a black African female in Britain.
There are too few stories and points of views of people of colour in Britain and the West generally, so I have created Ubuntu Museum to put out these stories.
We hope to collaborate with and shine a light on people and organisations that believe in the opportunities for the growth of humanity that these new narratives can bring.”
