32° East Arts Centre
Kampala, Uganda
2023
Kampala’s first purpose-built community arts space. The new home of 32° East, a not-for-profit organisation promoting East African contemporary art and East African artists. The Arts Centre, in Kampala, is a focal point for Kampala’s artist community, contemporary art in Uganda and the wider East African region. The hyper-local building is made from earth taken directly from the site. Sandstone from a nearby quarry and timber formwork reused as roof shingles.
