Rosette Nsubuga has been selected to receive an award under the category of Inspirational Young Person, as well as a Sankofa Young Black Achievers award under the category of Citizenship at the Awards Ceremony, which will be taking place on Saturday 29 October, at Mid Kent College.

Rosette Amanda Nsubuga is a second year student at the School of Music and Fine Art, where she studies BA Hons in Fine Art.

Nsubuga submission in the University’s Black History Month Exhibition 2016 – “Dove Child and Melanin Intuition” – considers historical events and contextualizes them in relation to their influence in motivating contemporary events.

Nsubuga’s paintings consider the status of the black community form and adored perspective. Nsubuga’s work discloses love and ascension as well as the stigma that came with having darker skin. It considers how the influence of the struggles of black leaders brings us to see what victory and freedom feels like.

Equally, Nsbuga’s ethnographic research garners the perceptions of black students on the things they like and dislike about being black and articulates these narratives through an amalgamation of soundbites.
