Time for change!
After 10 years in the city centre of Kampala it is time for change. In 2018, the Bayimba International Festival will move from its traditional location at the National Theatre in Kampala to a spacious new home in the midst of a leafy environment at the shores of Lake Victoria.
“We have been thinking about the long-term viability of the festival so that we can continue to go on for another 10 years. We have been exploring different approaches to sustain our annual festival and are extremely excited to have been able to acquire an amazing location,” says festival director Faisal KIWEWA.
The immediate advantage of the new location includes on-site parking, which will eliminate this logistical challenge faced thus far, as well as room for on-site accommodation. Artistic programming will also benefit from the new space, with plenty of room to spread out and an inspirational environment that lends itself for some innovative design and layout, a great opportunity to refresh and revitalise what the festival has been offering its fans.
The festival will however stay truthful to its promise to stimulate and inspire creativity, innovation and collaboration, and thus to contribute to developing the arts sector at large. “In terms of programming we will be very similar to what our audiences are used to – exciting multi-arts programming at various stages for people from all ages and strata – just in a different location with more breathing room,” underlines Faisal KIWEWA.
