Dressing Chamber
Dressing Chamber (2018-2019) is an installation that was first exhibited at the Open Source Gallery in New York in November 2018. As a part of the Letter to my Childhood series, Mali seeks to liken the experience of being in a dressing room to the process of writing letters to Marcue. The installation explores notions of private and public space by creating an immersive experience for the audience to interact with Mali’s memories. With this work Mali engages experiences and collective histories of childhood, religion, identity, post-colonialism, and salvery that serve as a backdrop to contemporary Ugandan society.

Sounds of Memory
Sound of Memory (2018) was a mixed media installation consisting of video, sound, sculpture and found objects. This installation is part of the broader ongoing project, Letters to my Childhood, that Mali has been working on since 2017, in which she penned 66 letters to her younger self between the ages of 5 and 12 , while also collecting toys, household objects, family photos and albums, nursery rhymes, games and stories
