A tribute to the women that started revolutions at kitchen tables.

Dance has long brought people together, and is a key part of the Baganda People of Uganda. This workshop explores how dance can challenge authoritarian rule, focusing on how Baganda dances strengthen community and empowerment. Led by Peninah Wampamba, a researcher of indigenous practises and women’s health, the session connects dance with politics, health and decolonisation. Participants will also take part in the dancing themselves.
