Two Dare to Dream in Kampala

A World as You Don't See.

Which came first?

Friends From Far Away. My digital collage.

Gen in, shut up and keep suffering. My (R. Canon Griffin) digital collage.

Ugandan artist Fred Kato Mutebi.

When you’re born in large numbers but it’s just a pointless temporary pileup. Saturation! Saturation! A pity. Like painting a Paul Gauguin today. Something is fully exotic to you today? Yeah, congrats, you have been keeping yourself in the dark. You maybe be excused due to your position in the cosmic pile, but now you know. So, if you meet a walking maize plant, the thing is looking for a better place. (at Buwaate) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqfUre3LzTc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Postcards from @32degreeseast of Greenwich. If you can’t buy an $1000 Canon Griffin, you may treat yourself to a $10 version of it because these are special circumstances. We’re building another house there. (at 32º East | Ugandan Arts Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSf9ZXLSbB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meanwhile at @32degreeseast … meanwhile, @kkaybie and @darlkom are about to bomb the place 🔊, get here! 🪩 (at 32º East | Ugandan Arts Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqOOrFtLWjo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Being with bananas is better than being without bananas. #YouCanCallMeAl if you understand that it’s nicer if it’s all #bananas. How bizarre, #HowBizzare! (at Kataza) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBRgaArYUB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The days! Buying #firewire cables … the race to get to network ports at @makerere … SCART cables … I am a dinosaur! I found Hi8 and DV8 still around. I sat through that nice pre-editing that was when you’re capturing a #miniDV via firewire … i even worked with VHS a little. … Recording video via SD Card actually leads you into piling up video files you never even replay. By the time you were done capturing, you had the edit in mind … let me keep quiet before people who worked with film cast sidelong looks my way. 🤡 (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7Es3iLb9Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Divas and pet snakes on a plane, and all ideas of a survivable landing are speculative.” People! It’s a collage i made for the @2ndhandviolence podcasts c/o @thisiskissi, @oluko, & friends. The story is unavoidable and now we have fashionable RETURN TO SENDER tremors coming from @buzigahill.official . “People will be on a malfunctioning aircraft and still fight to captain it.” “A clean structured life but for the chosen few.” “If the statements the original owners of the clothes were making are irrelevant to my locality, then why must I struggle to reject an option cheaper than the evils of mass farming and clothing factories?” “Here we are starting to think of better. Again.” The quotes are from me the artist ( @crumanzi ). Excerpts from a blurb i made accompanying my art to the @2ndhandviolence podcasts. Collage title is “Adventures of the Trash Dame: Hopelessly Waiting like a Lady.” (at Buziga) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp12R54KKoS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

That was a little psalm from me to you. (at Total Najjera) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpzXUwDIIzG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If i were a rainmaker, with a side interest in weaving, but also remaining casually detached from the things i do, insisting that i have value outside what i do for others, that photo would be with no raindrops and my shoes would have lived to walk another day. Just pretty stuff in the dirt. Move along. (at Kulambiro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpriOIuoJle/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
