Ensibuko International Artist Residency

Ensibuko arts foundation has launched an  open call for the 2024 artist residency for international dancers, choreographers and performers. We invite individuals, companies/ensembles or groups interested in traveling to Jinja, Uganda to participate in an international artist residency program. Ensibuko Arts Foundation is a nonprofit organisation that works to contribute towards shaping the future of the dance arts in Uganda by offering quality workshops, artist mentorship  to individuals that would otherwise lack access. We use dance as a tool to address social issues, rehabilitate and heal communities.  EAF was named after a native word: “ “ENSIBUKO” which in English translates to “THE ORIGIN”.
