PROJECT

Exploring Kampala’s Cemetery of Cinemas through Elly Wamala’s Ebinyumu Ebyaffe

The "Ebinyuma Ebyaffe" project, meaning "Our Happy Places" in Luganda, explores Kampala's architectural wonders from the 1960s through the lens of Elly Wamala's song. This project has unveiled the hidden stories and architectural treasures of Kampala's cinematic history, focusing on advocating for the preservation of the Norman Cinema, currently occupied by Watoto Church. Using a hybrid approach combining online and offline elements, including podcasts, photography, installations, events at the national museum and city walks, the project has ignited a conversation about heritage conservation and memory in the face of urban development.
