Professor Weeks explained that the pictures were all taken in Uganda between 1969 and 1972. They were exhibited 40 years ago at the Nommo Gallery in Kampala. They were mainly from four rural locations where the Uganda Youth Survey research project supported by the Overseas Development Agency of Great Britain was being carried out.
