The foundation & vision of TAKS Community Arts Centre in Gulu
The Ugandan sculptor David Lukani Odwar & his sister Joyce Laker talk about their work with local artists in Gulu & surrounding area; the situation in Northern Uganda & the vision they are pursuing by establishing a Community Arts Centre in a building which used to be a golf club of the British colonisers & a no-go-zone for the locals. The last two tracks of this playlist are footage recordings presenting an audio walk through TAKS centre with David.
In an additional playlist, Joyce who has lived through the conflict in Northern Uganda, talks in more detail about the situation, the life of people, the histories of the conflict & its legacies; the recordings are accessible at : http://www.archive.org/details/legacy_of_colonialism

A regional Community Arts Centre; built in local initiative & self-help; founded & established by Ugandan sculptor David Lukani Odwar & his sister Joyce Laker in 2005; transforming a former colonial golf club to a place for training & exchange; to promote & celebrate local cultural achievements; aiming to engage people in post-conflict Northern Uganda in the creative arts; resuscitate local arts, crafts & arts education; linking contemporary ICTs & indigenous knowledge; recover, heal & develop local cultural tradition & production, esp. under the wider perspective of resolution of conflict through the arts, intergenerational & interethnic dialogue regionally and nationally.
