Aidah Namukose describes herself as having “fallen into climate storytelling by mistake,” yet her photography has become a powerful tool for amplifying the voices of women in Uganda most affected by the climate crisis. Pairing words with images, she documents the lives of women working in the food industry, highlighting how droughts, floods, and shifting seasons intersect with issues of livelihood and gender. Through her photo-journalistic practice, Aidah not only reveals the everyday struggles these women face but also celebrates their resilience, challenging the “lack of empowerment” that too often silences them. By sharing their stories, she transforms personal testimony into a collective call for visibility and justice. As part of the Young Climate Prize program, Aidah was mentored by José Esparza Chong Cuy, a curator, writer, and architect from Mexico who is currently Executive Director and Chief Curator at Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York. His guidance helped Aidah refine her practice as both an artistic and activist platform, positioning her work within broader conversations about community, equity, and climate action.
