The African Journey - PATHS
Presenting a solo showcase of master Ugandan artist Sanaa Gateja at 1-54 London. Sanaa shows for the first time, his 6 panel work titled 'Paths', depicting the journey of the world's largest continent and the Mother of Mankind, Africa.
In these works, Sanaa tells a story of human experiences from across the continent, celebrating and recording paths that lead to various destinies along the way. He believes all journeys have a purpose and influence, ranging from nomadic existence, immigration, exploration, trade, even the most horrific of all journeys - wars and slave trade and thus, make up the most profound of all human stories, The Great Continent's Great Story.

All journeys have a purpose and influence. Either nomadic existence, immigration, exploration, trade, and in recent times, the most horrific of all journeys, wars and slave trade, on such a large scale that it has left the continent and its people scared and unsettled. All these and many more factors, numerous as they may be, make up the most profound of all human stories in a large format, The Great Continent’s Great Story.
