About this Event
Chisenhale Art Place warmly welcomes you to a Community View at Chisenhale Gallery, as part of our Autumn/Winter Community Events Programme.
This event will be an opportunity to come together, connect with one another, and celebrate our community.
We’ll also be sharing images from events and activities that have taken place throughout the year, reflecting on the creativity, connections and experiences we’ve shared.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and take part in a relaxed, creative activity open to all ages.
Chisenhale Art Place brings together three initiatives: two independent arts organisations - Chisenhale Dance Space and Chisenhale Gallery - and Chisenhale Studios, home to 40 artist studios. Throughout the year, we collaborate on exhibitions, performances, workshops, and open studios that engage and inspire our community.

Kibuuka Omumbaale, is a major new video commission and the first UK exhibition by Kampala-based collective Wakaliga Uganda. The exhibition introduces a subversive take on the superhero action film, through which the artists explore the spiritual heritage of Kibuuka Omumbaale, a warrior-god of the Kingdom of Buganda. Made collaboratively with the Wakaliga community using bricolaged methods, the video follows the entanglement of Kibuuka’s sacred remains with histories of British colonialism, and the inheritances of power that arise through their confrontation with contemporary society.
This video commission runs for 40 minutes on a loop.
