Co-Creating Kampala’s Creative Industry
Collaboration asks you to let go of your solo vision and invest yourself into a collective vision.
How do you let go while giving so much of yourself?
During this day of learning, 20 creatives will gather at the Design Hub Kampala to explore what it takes to truly collaborate and how collaboration across creative fields may change the creative industry in Kampala for the better.
The day begins with an introduction to Age of Wonderland’s 100 DAYS OF LEARNING. Participants then introduce themselves. Each participant is asked to bring with them a broken object or an object they are willing to part with. They can use this object to tell their story to fellow participants and begin building the understanding and empathy needed to work together.
Part 1: Making
The best way to learn is by experiencing. In the first part of the day, participant will work in groups (with people from different fields) to turn their objects into a product, process, art piece, idea or anything they can imagine.
Part 2: Ideating
Within the same groups, participants will share what challenges they observe in the creative industry or what they wish to see in the future of Kampala’s creative industry. Each group will then begin to brainstorm possible solutions and ideas.
Part 3: Engaging
The Day of Learning will end with a pop-exhibition from the day’s work. The exhibition will be open to the public and the public will have a chance to add their own thoughts, ideas, and observations.
This Day of Learning is about the process and not the outcome. It is about what we discover through working together and how that may help others in their search for success and growth within Kampala’s creative industry.
I look forward to collaborating with empathy, openness, trust, and a collective vision for a booming creative industry in Kampala.
