Harmony : by Florence Nanteza | Firetti Contemporary, Dubai

"Harmony" introduces the intricate works by Ugandan artist, Florence Nanteza.

Nanteza focuses on the healing properties of plants and herbs speaks. She speaks to a broader sense of identity, specifically the relationship between humans and the natural world.

Her use of banana fiber collages, a traditional material in Uganda, reflects her cultural identity and upbringing.

Through her art, Nanteza emphasizes the importance of traditional knowledge and practices, and how they can be used to promote wellness and positive health.

“Nanteza’s subliminal paintings invite the viewer to remember with her, their own memories and to relive their own dreams through healing.”
