Charity Atukunda, Centre Soleil d’Afrique — Mali
There is a satisfaction I gain from visiting other African countries, there is the reassuring familiarity of seeing faces like mine, discovering similar customs like mine, I take pleasure in noting where they differ or where they have remained the same. I also enjoy delving in the unfamiliar, recognizing and appreciating how each culture on […]
Podcast Transcript: Lab Session 1 Reflections — Lobadys Pérez
Dear friends Many things impressed me when I was in Africa for the first time. The gateway was Uganda and the meeting with incredible artists at 32 degrees was the point of important reflections. The heterogeneity of the proposals and points of view from which they are built make Campala’s artistic production strongly related to […]

Before the labs, my approach to research and concept development was very linear. If I had a question, the research involved looking for a direct answer to the question that I had. For example if I asked you what a bird is, you probably say that it is a creature that flies. During the labs, […]
Podcast Transcript: Lab Session 1 Reflections — Liz Kobusinge
Something that Molemo said during one of the sessions really stood out to me then and I keep coming back to it. She was talking about how important it is to be really voracious in your consumption of art, of theory, of context, as a way to learn more things and really immerse yourself in […]
Podcast Transcript: Lab Session 1 Reflections — Odur Ronald
I was struggling with concept development which was answered by research, so there is no way you can inform me of work without research. You have to go deep and make research about something and then all these levels of creating everything and then translating everything to an art visual or a composition, at least […]
Podcast Transcript: Lab Session 1 Reflections — Alison Nadunga
My biggest take on the lab sessions has been learning and unlearning so many things. I was and still am an extremely structured person and it gets challenging and intimidating when the structure is removed from things and information is left open-ended. Being a part of these sessions has helped me slowly get into understanding […]
Podcast Transcript: Lab Session 1 Reflections — Jim Joel Nyakaana
I was kind of stuck in one medium, photography — I was more inclined towards books since I like reading books and the like, so concept development really helped me in — “how do I break out of my usual circle into other circles?. Interacting with different people, I like Lobady’s way of “how do […]
Podcast Transcript: Lab Session 1 Reflections — Katesi Jacqueline
My initial approach to research and concept development before the labs, in summary, I would refer it to the conception of a baby in a mother womb. It was at the future stage. Initially, I looked at research and concept development as restricted to using a lot of my brain and doing a lot of […]
Podcast Transcript: Lab Session 1 Reflections — Trevor Aloka
I was really excited, well just to dive into the whole programme but the Research and Concept Development Labs were particularly important for me because naturally in my artistic process I do like to dive heavily into research. One of the things that I really loved about the labs was the way we approach research. […]
