Jacqueline Katesi Kalange

Katesi Jacqueline Kalange is an artist from Uganda. Her practice lies within a tapestry of sculpture, architecture, research, performance and installation art. It is inspired by the role African indigenous wisdom played and still plays in ensuring a harmonious co-existence between humans and other beings within shared eco systems. It goes ahead to challenge capitalist narratives that view other beings as mere resources to be exploited for man’s benefit. Thereby African indigenous wisdom is presented as a corner stone from which to propel innovations and inventions within our contemporary society today aimed at addressing challenges like inadequate waste management, climate change, unemployment, etc.
