Pamela Enyonu

20 September 2022

Pamela Enyonu was born in 1985 in Kampala, Uganda where she still currently
lives and works.
She studied Art and Design at the Kyambogo University Banda of Kampala,
Uganda. Her artistic career started in 2017 with a 3 months residency at 32 degrees
East where she navigated the politics of identity, trauma, and healing. After her
residency, she was invited to host a solo exhibition in June 2017.
Pamela’s style is inspired by stories, materials, and the process it takes to transform
them into works of art. Her works present a tactile and 3 dimensional quality that
richly layered textures exploring narratives on gender, identity, empowerment, and self-awareness, that deals with Ugandan (African) women and their experiences.
Pamela is particularly interested in the “untokenized” experiences occupying the
intersection of empowerment, mental health, and identity.
