The S-ART-Day!! (Saturday)

Hola, It’s been a crazy journey for Ugandans in the past few weeks, on top of the already ongoing drama. The Ugandan sports fraternity and fan-base at large have been experiencing a rollercoaster of grief; Ponsiano Kyambadde (Football), Maxine Modesta Anyango (Basketball), and the most recent Sydney Gongodyo (Rugby) whose demise has shaken the entire nation. A moment of silence for the dearly departed…May their souls rest in eternal peace. On a lighter note, this weekend has a fan pact day, and luckily for y’all it happens to be on the favorite day of the weekend—Saturday. Imagine having a variety of fun-filled activities to choose from, and you end up being spoiled for choice 😉

Creative Showcase

Being a creative comes with its own ups and downs: one of the downsides is having to deal with the financial constraints in order to put your work out there (showcase), on the other hand, the upside is you get to craft your imagination into an art piece, fashion pieces, a movie or even written word. Showcasing helps spread the word about a creative’s artistic touch. In addition, it brings a creative much closer to his/her audience, and that’s one of the goals of the BRITISH COUNCIL-Creative Showcase Programme. Head over to YUJO IZAKAYA on 13th June and dive into the creatives’ artistic realm.

Generational Creativity

As we’re on the topic of creatives, it is inevitable to notice the uniqueness in creativity that each generation had to offer: Baby-Boomers—the birth of modern advertising and the mass market of pop culture; Gen X—pioneered the “DIY” (Do-It-Yourself) wave by disrupting traditional and studio-controlled media through building alternative pathways in music; Millennials—revolutionized the industry by democratizing distribution and fueled the rise of the “gig economy” and the early concept of the professional online creator; Gen Z—unique for their mastery of authentic-driven branding, meme culture and visual storytelling; and lastly, Gen Alphas—utilizes AI tools greatly as collaborative partners due to the great emergence of AI. Nonetheless, each generation carries its own significance in creativity and this Saturday at TALES BAR & LOUNGE, the ULTIMATE OLD SKOOL PARTY is going down. Time to rock those bell bottoms and dance shoes on.

African Culture & Vibes

Africa as a continent is rich with a variety of cultures and traditions spanning across the continent in every region. Every culture, tradition and ethnicity has a significant tag to it, for instance, one of the things the Masaai of Kenya are known for is wearing colorfully patterned shukas/shawls wrapped around their bodies and the Baganda in Uganda are known for their backcloth to mention a few. These are cultural and traditional fashion statements that each culture has tagged to them. If we dive into the whole entertainment and dance bit, wheeew…we might sleep here typing. Nevertheless, Africa as a continent carries a unique signature to vibe from fashion to food to dance and drama. Try out the AFRI VYBS IN CAMPUS edition at SHISHA NYAMA VILLAGE just to get a glimpse of what I’m yapping about.

Dance Mode

As a Ugandan and a member of the sports fanbase, typing this piece drove in nostalgia in full gear. However, we’ll fondly remember the good memories left behind by the departed, and they would want us to enjoy life with every second we have on this planet. With that being said, this weekend is DANCE MODE in full throttle. 🙂

Until next time, I remain…Yours truly,
