The Kampala Art Biennale 2014 is calling on African painters, photographers, illustrators, cartoonists, writers and all 2D media artists to present their perception of the current status of Africa through visual art. The Kampala Art Biennale 2014 is set to serve as a conduit through which to start a debate that we so desperately need right now about a modern and progressive Africa starting right here in Kampala. There is a need to generate discussions centered on looking beyond aid to the financial resources Africa needs to enable transformative growth.
Overarching goals:
• Exposure of Contemporary Art from Africa to Ugandans;
• Exposure of Contemporary Art from Uganda to Africans;
• Educate the Kampala society about the value and importance of contemporary art in general;
• Exchange between African artists and practitioners;
• Use art to build Kampala and Uganda as a preferred tourist destination;
• Use art to rebuild the creative, jubilant, celebratory spirit of Kampala.
During the whole month of August, at different locations in Kampala
