Uganda will be among 81 countries hosting pavilions, along with other first-timers Kazakhstan and Oman.
Kerunen creates wall hangings and installations that use materials traditionally used by Ugandan artisans and craftsmen. These pieces consider the “agency of women’s work in Africa and [act as] an acknowledgment of the role that this artistic labor plays in the climate ecosystem,” the Ugandan Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development said in a statement announcing the pavilion.
In a statement, Merali said that the show’s title refers to “the essential knowledge and lived experiences of Kerunen and Sekajugo in speaking to the many different territories of Uganda, as well as to urban trade and living conditions in its urban centers.” Commissioned by Ugandan official Juliana Akoryo Naumo, the pavilion is sponsored by the country’s Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development agency, which oversees national initiatives in the culture sector. Stjarna.art and the Uganda National Cultural Centre are also supporting the exhibition.
