Universal Designs: Artists and Artworks is a group of five young Ugandan artists. Farouk Mukwaya, Kennedy Baguma, Peter Karyango, Allan Nakalisa and James Nsamba work out of a tiny studio in the Kasubi neighborhood of Kampala.

The group supports itself with commercial art such as sign lettering and house painting. Members of the collective pool their money to buy art supplies for themselves, and to use in their efforts to recruit street kids into learning and producing beaded jewelry and other handicrafts.
