We want to empower young artists from Uganda, Ruanda and Germany to get connected and to find gaps in-between to share their art and visions.

With an international team and three local teams in each participating country we are searching for transparent organizational structures, which enable us to start a reflection process about our own works and how to avoid reproducing postcolonial structures.
