A Photographic Safari & Creative Residency led by Jim Joel
Looking to document the raw intersection of pre-colonial craft, royal lineage, and material anthropology? Born out of the Bulungi Bwansi visual research project showcased during the KLA ART 24 festival, I lead specialized creative residencies exploring the tactile heritage of western Uganda.
The Fort Portal Cultural Material Expedition is an immersive field experience tracking a single, historic road that connects the intricate craft of local basket weavers, the living heritage of the Tooro Kingdom, and the sacred architecture of royal burial grounds.
Tailored for cultural researchers, documentarians, and landscape enthusiasts, this residency studies how master weavers like Patrick Tungo Apuuli harvest natural botanical dyes to thread community memory into structural form. Step out of the studio and into the field.
