Kuonyesha Art Fund Program in Africa

Kuonyesha Art Fund Program in Africa

Kuonyesha Art Fund (KAF); exists to support and celebrate art and artists in
all their diversity in Africa. Kuonyesha promotes and supports the professional
development of the arts in a way that enhances the arts’ meaningful critical
influence and participation of art and artists in the issues shaping society and
public life in Africa today. Kuonyesha is currently supporting artists in 10 African
countries; Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt, Ghana, South Africa, Cameroon,
Rwanda, Namibia, Sudan.

The Kuonyesha Art Fund is hosted and managed by CivFund; an Afro-feminist
fund based in Uganda serving Africa. The fund is guided by a distinguished
7-member Advisory Committee comprising renowned artists, cultural
practitioners, and art enthusiasts, namely Dr. Maureen Muwanga, Owek. Nuwa
Wamala Nnyanzi, Maureen Kalungi, Emily Drani, Ernest Bazanye, Kenneth
Kimuli (Pablo), Jimmy Spire Ssentongo.

“Kuonyesha,” a Swahili word meaning “to show,” perfectly captures the fund’s
mission to elevate, highlight, and celebrate the arts across Africa. Since its
inception in 2019, the Kuonyesha Art Fund has supported over 150 art projects
across Africa, involving over 3000 individual artists across a wide range of
artistic disciplines in visual, literary and performing arts. 85% of the grants are
dedicated to women and persons with disabilities (PWDs). In addition to the
grant, Kuonyesha Art Fund offers 100% capacity strengthening and grants plus
support to all its partners.

Expanding Kuonyesha’s reach across Africa fosters a richer exchange of ideas,
promotes a space for collaboration among artists from diverse backgrounds,
and ensures a holistic representation of African art. By supporting artists from
various African countries, the Kuonyesha Art Fund is building a stronger,
interconnected arts community, capable of

addressing the myriad challenges
facing the arts and Africa today.
