The "Munna Kampala, omanyi Kampala?" visual research practice expanded its cross-cultural reach by participating in the prestigious Cheragi Art Show 7 in Chattogram. Organized independently by the Jog Art Space collective, this open-air, multidisciplinary street art festival transformed public thoroughfares into interactive cultural laboratories. The show focuses on bypassing traditional white-cube galleries to invite raw public dialogue and community encounter.
Featured artworks
For this seventh edition, a curated selection from the ongoing 365-day Kampala street series was installed directly into the urban fabric of Cheragi Pahar Lane. The presentation juxtaposed the built heritage, rapid modernization, and daily hustle of Kampala's streets with the bustling environment of a Bangladeshi street festival. By stripping away wall labels and institutional barriers, the project allowed local viewers to interact directly with Ugandan urban stories. This public presentation highlighted the universal struggles of preserving culture, space, and memory across rapidly expanding global cities.
