Presentation
August 2024 at KLA ART '24
iniva and 32° East Trust are pleased to announce a new partnership and opportunity through British Council’s Biennials Connect for an artist based in the UK to take part in KLA ART, Kampala’s longest running contemporary art festival. The selected artist will be in residence at 32° East in Kampala, Uganda over a three-month period from May to July 2024 and showcase in the festival in August this year.
The theme for KLA ART ’24 is Care Instructions and will invite artists and the public to look at cultural heritage through the lens of care.
The Open Call for this artist residency and participation in the KLA ART ‘24 is an opportunity to develop a project for this supporting, nurturing and non-competitive environment in which you can develop your practice and expand your networks in East Africa. We invite you to follow the link to apply for consideration of the panel. The panel will be made up of the directors and staff from iniva and 32° East. The panel will shortlist and interview potential candidates in March and will be announced in April 2024.
All inquiries including any accessibility requests to support the application process can be directed to info@ugandanartstrust.org
