In collaboration with a collage artist and civil society organisation GENERATE hosted a community art exhibition featuring over 20 collage artworks created by LBQ (lesbian, bisexual and queer) women during a two-day workshop co-led by GENERATE in Kampala, Uganda.

The workshop provided 12 LBQ women with the opportunity to creatively explore their lived experiences of challenges relating to the environment, climate change and broader social and political challenges they face. Participants focused on interrelated issues including housing and being unhoused, ageing, economic justice, and health and wellbeing, and how these are impacted by and intersect with environmental and climate change in Kampala, Uganda. They were taught different collage techniques and skills, explored the work of different collage artists around the world, and engaged in cycles of creativity and discussion to share stories and experiences, respond to each other, and make their own art-works.

The exhibition offered a safe opportunity for the participants to present their work and engage a wider (but secure) audience of over forty people on the intersecting relationship between climate change, environmental injustice, and gender and sexual diversity.
