The Nigerian Red Cross Society, NRCS, in her YOUTH AND VIOLENCE PROJECT invited Uche Uzorka as juror. The project, organized to coincide with the organizations 40th anniversary, had among its manifestos, the communicative and healing power of creativity. it was organized in a competition format among senior secondary schools in the federal capital territory of Nigeria in 2007. Having a strong belief in the didactic potentials of art especially as a social construction tool, uche was selected as one of three artists in the 2006 exhibition, INHUMANITY > WAR AND LIMITS. A joint project of the Switzerland embassy and the INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR THE RED CROSS , ICRC .
  He has since shifted focus to many of the presumptive notions of living in a modern terra, a terra of color, separations and systematic sorting, artificial boundaries and accumulated acronyms, cross identities and anonymous names.
  Fundamentally a painter, Uche works presently in fabrics, mostly denim, something he regards as universal, especially in its uniformity as a liberal rag and also in the conformity and contrast of characters wearing them, with these rags of modernity he manifests themes which challenge the interactive limitations of the human being especially in a world that is so closely knit.
  In 2008, Uche was selected to represent Nigeria in the 10th biennial of Havana, Cuba under the theme of INTEGRATION AND RESISTANCE IN A GLOBAL ERA. , this would hold in March of 2009.Similarly he would be participating in the 2010 manifestation of ART FOR HUMANITYs DIALOGUE AMONG CIVILISATIONS. A project with a focus on themes such as belief, race, land, xenophobia and identity.
  Uche was born in Agwe town, South Nigeria on the 17th of March 1974. he trained as a visual artist between 1997 and 2001 at the University of Nigeria Nsukka, where he majored in painting.
