August | Bayimba International Festival - Lunkulu Island | Uganda

In May 2018 we were invited and funded to deliver an audiovisual production at the Bayimba International Festival for August 2018, only 3 months after our initial presentation at DoaDoa Market.  This adventure led to creating a team from the young Congolese Collective Kongoloko and creatives from Afrika Arts Kollective. The production would consist of creating an art trail as well as taking care of the beach stage, with these young creatives designers and artists led to the team which today constitutes for JustaHub Uganda.
