“Re-Introducing David Goslin” will be on view through Saturday January 16th.

With the youth currently making-up 55% of the Ugandan population, this cohort has emerged as a demographic powerhouse.Bavubuka does not just represent the future they embody the present.

Today the Bavubuka Foundation is a fully operational nonprofit organization that passionately believes connecting youth with music and the arts can transform lives and unify diverse communities.
At Bavubuka we are dedicated to creating spaces and educational programs that nurture and empower a new generation of young leaders, in Uganda and all of Africa. VOICES that will communicate positive messages and affect positive change in their communities and the world.
Each Bavubuka project incorporates reconciliation and peace building activities by using transformative art to cultivate personal empowerment, within a united communal effort. Bavubuka provides Ugandan youth, opportunities to gain new skills, bring their own creations to life and develop relationships that connect them to their immediate community, the larger Ugandan struggle, and a global peace building movement.
