School was easy to Senkaaba because he topped his class from P1-S4 and emerged second best student in Masaka District at his O’ levels and went ahead to do Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Fine Art at his A’ levels also passing very highly. However, he knew at an early age that he wanted to be in a creative field and also knew for someone to be at the verge immortality, sacrifice must be an essential ingredient. So, he sacrificed his engineering degree to join Makerere’s Margaret Trowel School of Industrial and Fine Art one of the finest and oldest art institutions in Sub Saharan Africa where he graduated with a First Class Honours Degree. One of the seven 1st Class degrees at the University that year.
Intermittent appearances in numerous group exhibitions both at home and broad and elusive silences were followed by his first solo Art Exhibition at the German Cultural Centre aptly named “KALI CUWALEKALAFULU” (culturally colourful) which was a shock in the Art circles. It was a provocative, volatile and an extraordinary one preferring to incorporate poetry, performance art and to show the artwork in a guerilla -street vendor- like manner as opposed to the traditional gallery exhibition. He opened a new chapter to an untainted freedom of expression and challenged other artists to take art to a different level and prove the limitless possibilities of Art and the Artist.
