AFRO-LAB
Gulu, Uganda
Members : Constantly expanding, AFRO-LAB’s lineup consists of artists, trainers, educators, and community leaders.
Genres : African heritage and rhythms, enriched with worldwide influences and modern electronic fusion.
A project incubator and community center located five minutes from downtown Gulu, Elephante Commons is home to AFRO-LAB, a creative center and studio. “Our work extends beyond the studio and reaches out to the community with awareness and learning programs, particularly aimed at young audiences,” explains the incubator team.
Formed as a local art collective, AFRO-LAB collaborates with young artists from northern Uganda: “The idea here is to use creativity as a lever for healing and empowerment. We believe in the power of music as a tool for resilience.”
Positioned as an autonomous “African art laboratory,” this healing space brings together traditional culture, young creativity, and experimentation. It is no coincidence that for two years in a row, the venue has hosted the Nyege Warm-up in Gulu, an eagerly awaited annual pre-party organized entirely by the lab’s young students.
