After 6 years in Mackinnon Road, the Goethe-Zentrum Kampala/ UGCS moved back to Bukoto Street, where the first LaBa! Arts Festival took place (2007). This seemed suitable and inspiring for the LaBa! Committee to bring back the LaBa! Arts Festival 2015 to that street, under the theme Back to the Future.
The theme Back to the Future can be interpreted in many ways. 

1. It invites the festival and its artists to look back to where LaBa! derived from and at the same time to imagine its future. This reflection can happen as individuals, organizations but also regarding the general developments of Kampala and the cultural sector. 

2.On the other side Back to the Future stands for future in general and certain 'futuristic' approaches brought forward in the arts and academics, including Science Fiction, Afro futurism, future technologies and other topic related artistic practices.

The theme is broad, but mainly brings artists to reflect on the history of their society and the arts as well as their own, and it is a starting point for new ideas, inspirations and reflections, trying out new things and pushing their creativity.

The workshop is tailored to stimulate the participants to explore their imagination through the generation of creative possibilities. Artists will be taken through physical, mental and emotional routines aimed at developing creative flow and expounding on the theme "Back to the Future"

They are therefore entitled: Activating Imagination for Artistic Creation and will be facilitated by Ife Piankhi.
