We’re thrilled to host Dutch Fashion designer Jan Boelo in Karamoja (northeast Uganda) for a journey of inspiration aimed at learning more about Karimojong culture and fashion.
About one year a go, Kara-Tunga founder Theo Vos and Jan Boelo met each other ‘Groningen’ (the northern province of The Netherlands) where they both grew up. They shared thoughts about creating an iconic modern fashion item based on present day Karimojong fashion.
Coincidentally, the Embassy of the Netherlands in Uganda invited him for a cross-cultural design event taking place in Uganda. Now a dream is coming true whereby he will design a clothing peace inspired by Karimojong culture in collaboration with two Ugandan fashion designers this month. Beautiful!
Stay tuned and follow his journey to #DiscoverKaramoja, Uganda’s Best Kept Secret.
Join is for the 2024 edition of the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo (POATE Tourism Expo Uganda) that will be taking place at Munyonyo Commonwealth Speke Resort in Kampala from 23 – 25 May 2024. Find us in the Main Exhibition Hall.
On our journey to develop Uganda’s new tourist product Warrior Nomad Trail, we asked for input and buy-in from national stakeholders during a workshop in Kampala.
