Stuart Tibaweswa is a Kampala-based Ugandan documentary photographer. His work often focuses on marginalised communities, their relationship to wider society and seeks to contribute towards correcting misrepresented narratives. After graduating with a BA in Industrial Fine Art and Design from the Margaret Trowell School of Art, Makerere University in 2017 Stuart won the Uganda Press Photo Award’s Young Photographer Award, and as a result was offered a mentorship programme the following year. He was nominated for the 2018 Young Achievers Awards in the Film and Photography category and was a runner-up in the “Middle Income in Uganda" photography contest by Goethe-Zentrum, Kampala in 2019. Stuart's interest in documentary storytelling springs from the desire to question himself about social, economic, and climatic change issues around his community and address them through a series of photographs.

Many of Uganda’s LGBTQ people have been victims of violence, social injustice and discrimination. They have been abandoned by their families, leading them to live in fear of their lives, with many of them struggling to survive economically, at the same time as having their access to health services affected.
