About!

Koloto Siraji is a Ugandan conceptual artist, dancer, thinker, and researcher whose multifaceted artistic practice traverses film, installation, and performance. Grounded in the rich philosophical tapestry of Bagisu traditions, his work is a dynamic fusion of ancestral wisdom and contemporary expression. Central to Koloto's artistic methodology is a profound engagement with Bagisu philosophies of dance art, merging traditional concepts with modern practices. This prompts him to rediscover the ancient wisdom of dance by deconstructing Bagisu traditional dances and blending them with urban/street dance styles, creating a poignant set of movements that express a contemporary identity. This approach significantly enriches the Bagisu art and rituals of movement
Navigating the realms of post-colonialism and decolonization, Koloto explores the human body as a medium to convey new narratives. Intrigued by the potential of the body in space to communicate information and encapsulate the human experiences, His art is deeply rooted in the lives of his communities and ancestry. A distinctive characteristic of Koloto's artistic work is its refusal to offer facile answers. Instead, his work is a call to reflection, inviting the audience to feel, think, and question the complex dimensions of the world. Particularly drawn to making people feel, think, and question aspects related to gender, politics, environment and climate change, human rights, economics, and cultural issues, encouraging people to contemplate and take individual responsibility for their actions.

Artistic History!

Welcome to my world of research, tales, beliefs, thoughts and opinions.
All my works are influenced by how I feel and think about situations.

Artistic Background?

I’m immensely trained in the bagisu traditional artistry. Since 2004, I have been working with traditional dance elders in my tribe “Bagisu” as a student, teacher and community choreographer for the traditional dance gatherings and rituals of movement. It is from this rich artistic background that I explore philosophies and theories that shape my contemporary identity.
