On our inaugural "Artist of the Week" segment, we feauture @mathiastusiime
We had a pleasant surprise a while back when Tusiime Mathias passed by to introduce his work and what he does.

Tusiime is a self taught artist who started out as Makerere University's groundskeeper (still is) and using discarded supplies and spending time around the lecturers and students of the renowned art department, managed to pick up a few skills that he used to develop his artistic talent. He repurposed the waste and sugar cane pulp to make the paper he uses. His practice paid off when he got a chance to exhibit his work not only in Uganda, but Kenya, Denmark, Netherlands and the U.S.A.
Armed with his new found skill, experience and fame, he decided to selflessly go back to members of his community who had no access to resources needed to pursue art and initiated projects that enabled them, learn life skills that they then used to not only sustain themselves, but also earn enough be able to equip themselves with art supplies. This project resulted into the formation of Uganda community Art skill Development and Recycling (UCASDR), a program that links Art and Craft to environmental concerns through recycling skills development and innovation in Uganda.
