I work mostly in woodcarving, sometimes mural painting. My first show was in 1991 at Mukono Print Workshop, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog.
Most of my work is inspired by markets and street scenes. I sing in a choir.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
More about Akoth
I've had 4 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
