Current & recent projects... Updated 12-05-2013

Katerina and I are presently in Kenya, in the small cold town of Molo, Southern Rift Valley. I am working on a small documentary about the Ogiek people of the Mao Forest. We are also continuing the Matriarchal project.

Painting the Karamojong. 2006 - 2010
By Simon

From my first encounter with the Karamojong people in Kampala, to the wilderness of Karamojaland, I am transported into a world of ethnic conflict and tribal traditions.

Buganda Kingdom 2006 - 2010
By Katerina

For 4 years I worked on development projects in Uganda, in the area known as the Kingdom of Buganda. To wind down from my work I went out and painted the people and the local culture. The gate to the Buganda Kingdom opens here...

Karamojaland 2006 - 2010
(The land of old tired men)
By Katerina

The Karamojong are feared by all other tribes in East Africa. They come from a completely different world to the Royal Baganda, but now are flocking to Kampala because of hunger and ethnic violence.
