Carpenter ants, like human beings, live in organised societies, practising group integration and division of labour - the queen plays the function of reproduction; the workers collect food for the entire colony and construct and repair the nest; while the soldiers defend the colony against predators.
These are the inspiration behind Rebecca Angellah Nakaweesa’s debut solo exhibition titled “The curious world of humans” in which she attempts to interrogate the clash between African values and those introduced by colonialists.
