About the event

"EPEYONON: 'The Homecomer' explores the intersection of modernity and cultural heritage in Karamoja, delving into the impact on identity, questioning its nuances, and examining the role of contemporary art in this dynamic. 

This pop-up exhibition is a culmination of a three-month collaborative project and features experimental artworks that juxtapose modern art practices with cultural preservation. Through a fictional narrative of a homecomer's return to Karamoja, artists from diverse regions pose questions about how modernity shapes understanding, prompts new inquiries, and offers perspectives on growth and identity.

The exhibition serves as a platform for artists to weave modernity into Karamoja's cultural tapestry, creating dialogues that redefine the concept in contemporary times and reconcile their own connection to home."
