This woman exchanged her name for a pig
as part of a program created by the Danish artist Kristian Hornsleth.
He has offered a pig to any resident of the Ugandan village of Buteyongera
who agrees to take his name.
The town took advantage of the offer, too.
It is now called Hornsleth, just like almost everyone here.
These are the IDs of the members of the Hornsleth Village Project.
The pioneers, the 110 members who were the first to register
into the project.
These are the ones who have been photographed.
These members have taken Hornsleth as their middle name.
For example, this guy is called Nakwassi Hornsleth Robert,
and this one is called Nansamba Hornsleth Ruth.
It was a free trade with Kristian Hornsleth.
He gave us his name, and we gave him our names.
He is called Kristian Hornsleth Berunji. Berunji means "Guru Thing."
This provocative artistic project seeks to demonstrate that humanitarian aid does not come for free.
Hornsleth claims that it is a form of neocolonialism
that encourages dependence on donors.
But the villagers are not too concerned.
For them, it is the pig that counts.
Why have you taken the name Hornsleth?
Because I could get these animals‚ to remove [myself] from poverty.
And now I am rich, as I think you have seen.
There are also two others behind there. Even cows are there.
The Ugandan government started out supporting this humanitarian project,
but it has since revoked its authorization.
We have been recipients of aid for years and years.
This was the first time we were seeing a situation,
a conditionality, which was crazy and therefore not acceptable.
We saw it as a form of abuse,
because if you want to help, you don't set those conditions.
And we didn't think that was proper.
But when we also looked at his background,
he is not the type that you would describe as a man of integrity.
Why should the country associate with that sort of person
when, clearly, we know that it would be more harmful with his aid
than if the country did without it, to be honest?
So we stopped him because we did not think there was a use for it at all.
The minister has expelled Kristian Hornsleth and declared him personae non grata in Uganda.
The government claims it is taking measures to prevent international aid from being wasted,
but locals say the government has put a stop to a good thing.
The central government failed to do the work which we are doing --
bringing the people from poverty to prosperity.
So we are playing the position that the government should have played,
so it seemed obvious to us.
Every year, Uganda receives nearly U.S.$1 billion.
This makes up half of its budget.
It is all wasted money, according to Transparency International,
which denounces the government's corruption.
Now the villagers continue the project quietly.
Because of the new pigs,
they are developing a taste for shish kebab.
