The tenth edition of the LaBa! Arts Festival takes place on Saturday. This will be on Bukoto Street, Kamwokya, from midday till late.
According to the flagship sponsors, Goethe-Zentrum Kampala/Ugandan German Cultural, artists of all genres will transform the street into an open air gallery for one day with live performances and installations.
“To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the festival, the lineup of visual artists presents not only upcoming artists such as Matt Kayem and artist collectives such as Harnessing Talent, but also special guests from the earlier editions, among them Xenson Ssenkaba, Reagan Kandole and Bruno Ruganzu,” Anja Göbel, Director of Goethe-Zentrum Kampala said.
Highlights on the music stage will include Sandy Soul, Afrie and Giovanni Kremer Kiyingi. The LaBa! Arts Festival is one of the oldest art festivals in Kampala, playing an important role in the culture and arts scene of the city.
It is a multidisciplinary festival presenting recent trends in the arts scene. LaBa! aims to showcase artistic and musical expressions outside the usual spaces and conditions to reach out to new audiences. It is a platform that encourages artistic encounters, as well as intellectual and playful dialogues between artists and their audiences.
