Tuzinne Festival 2020

Following, Understanding and experiencing the world pandemic of Covid19 we couldn’t host any live event during this year.

But by the support of our partners the U.S MISSION KAMPALA via their FEDERAL ASSISTANCE AWARD, we managed to organize and produce a virtual edition of the annual human rights dance event, Tuzinne Festival Where Human Rights Dance 2020

 The Tuzinne Festival is an inclusive human rights dance festival that highlights

the work of artists with disabilities or from marginalized communities in Uganda. This

is a virtual edition of the Tuzinne Festival, highlighting shared American and?

Ugandan values like free speech, diversity, and the importance of protecting the rights of

even the most marginalized members in our communities.

We would like to thank our partners for making this year’s edition possible.

And we thank all the artists who responded to our invitation to collaborate with our to bring out this unique edition in style.

The production craw you did an amazing work thank you so much guys, now the world can see what Tuzinne means and its impotence in places such as Uganda
