Viewers will engage with Sonya Mwambu’s evocative explorations of identity through analog film, where layered visuals and experimental techniques unravel the intersections of race, gender, and language. Fragments of memory and personal history are reimagined through rich textures and tactile imagery, offering an intimate and immersive reflection on the complexities of self and belonging. 


'Mountains Never Meet, But People Do' is an interactive installation that explores Uganda’s intertwined histories within the diaspora and envisions a place for them within an imagined Afrofuture. Building upon the interactive digital archive My Uganda 2.0, this work invites audiences to navigate an Afrofuturist landscape, reflecting on Uganda’s history through the lens of personal and familial narratives.

Set in a borderless Pan-African future—a perpetual sunset among the stars—the installation weaves personal archives into broader Afrofuturist discourses. Using projection mapping and interactive technologies, it creates an immersive space for reimagining present realities and dreaming into limitless futures. The installation merges digital and analog elements, projecting images onto traditional fabrics, blurring the boundaries between the physical and imaginary. Whispers of the past and visions of the future reverberate, forming a chorus of ancestral voices that transmit a new archive for the future.
