CHINWE UWATSE
Exhibitions
Since 1982, I have had five solo exhibitions and have also been featured in numerous group exhibitions. My solo exhibitions have been rare, not because I have not expressed myself, but just because I have waited for the next best, most colorful, most meaningful works that I have, to show.
Exhibitions I have participated in include the following:
