This episode was recorded during Uganda's 62nd Independence Day celebrations at Afrika Arts Kollective. We delve into the theme of artistic independence. The "Independence Artists Brunch," held at Afrika Arts Kollective—an art center located in Kyebando Kisalosalo—provided a unique backdrop for a heartfelt discussion on the journey toward creative freedom and artists' self-sufficiency. We reflected on the significance of this day for artists, celebrating those who have achieved a level of independence while exploring pathways for those still on their journey. Listen in to capture the insights, experiences, and strategies shared by various artists for nurturing artistic independence within our communities.
