32° East

32° East is an independent non-profit organization based in Kampala, Uganda, since 2011. As a home for art practitioners from Uganda and across the globe working in a variety of disciplines and at all stages of their careers, 32° East provides artists with the support, resources, and space they need to advance their craft, critically reflect our world, and imagine a new one. Their new purpose-built art center includes studios for residencies, a contemporary art library, media equipment, meeting areas and workshop space. Beyond the residency, their programme also offers drop-in sessions for critique, workshops for practical skills, regular community gatherings, and Kampala’s longest-running public arts festival KLA ART. Through education, experimentation and connection 32° East aims to amplify the transformative power of art.
