Rose Namubiru Kirumira

Rose Kirumira was born in Kampala (1962) and graduated from Makerere University with a Master in Fine Arts in 1992. Since then she is lecturer and head of the sculpture department.

Starting her career in ceramics she later enjoyed creating compositions in wood and metal. It is amazing to see how Rose succeeds in transforming the masculine materials into humoristic portrait reliefs. She also collects waste materials cuts them and assembles them into sculpture. For her reliefs and three dimensional works she uses cement and clay. She is a hard worker and takes advantage of invitations to international workshops to gather new ideas.
