It’s a hard sell but Africa must invest in art and imagination

Building an arts centre in Uganda, in a pandemic, was never going to be easy but it's crucial to our post-Covid future

I've been raising funds for a building project: not a hospital, not a school, but an arts centre.

It's not an easy sell at the best of times but add in a pandemic and the fact that I'm in Africa and, according to the current rules of financial engagement, art is the verylowest of priorities.
