 These primarily male artists were at times criticized for drawing on a traditionally female art form without properly acknowledging current practitioners.Over time, modern female artists have also incorporated uli into their art, such as Chinwe Uwatse, who uses similar swelling lines and curves in her watercolor paintings.In 1991, Doris Weller and Meki Nwezi established the Ama Dialog near Onitsha, with a similar goal of creating a dialog between the modern and the traditional and the African and the European.
