possible but is also absolutely necessary.
And we can do so peacefully - we are
committed to non-violence as a core
principle to delivering change.

Welcome to the Zinduka Festival 2016!

Now in its fourth year, Zinduka offers the
people a unique opportunity to contribute
to the East African integration process
through art and culture, policy dialogue
and movement building.
Amidst all the gloom that seems to
permeate the East African region, Zinduka
pioneers and offers space for the peoples of
East Africa to celebrate their victories and
forge a platform for collective action. This
years theme is Africans Rising; Change
from below. What does this mean?
The continent is in a spin. The mass
migration of people to Europe, the violent
conflicts in Libya, Nigeria, Central African
Republic, the Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC), Burundi and Somalia simply
leaves the people exhausted, brutalized
and traumatized. What solutions can
Zinduka then bring to the table? One
common thread that runs through all these
conflicts is the apparent inability of the
people to change these situations; and
yet Zinduka maintains that not only is this

The festival will bring together people

from right across East Africa they will
over three days participate in various
activities that will impact heavily on
our theme of Africans Rising. Africans
will rise to the challenge of achieving
sustainable peace in our life time. We
shall provide an intellectual platform at
the Zinduka Academy and then extend
these debates to the various convenings
that will be held at the Uganda National
Cultural Centre. We invite the people to
converge, meet their neighbours and
engage constructively to chart how we
can Rise and overcome our challenges.
We look forward to participating in
the public procession and the nightly
bonfire kamukunjis (as Kenyans like
to call them) to solidify our bonds as
peoples of East Africa.
Ultimately peace and reconciliation
can only be achieved when the people
refuse to become pawns in the political
games that our political leadership plays
in order to defend their class interests
and betray the peoples aspirations.
Organise, dont agonise! Victory to the
People!
Karibuni, Welcome, Bienvenue - kwa
Tamasha la Zinduka 2016!

WORD FROM THE CHAIR

Zinduka Festival organizing Council

Zinduka Festival 2016 is a special festival; it

is a transitory festival. It marks a milestone
in the evolving space. Zinduka is redefining
itself, going through the inevitable birthpangs necessary for achieving its full potential
as a space for creating, consolidating and
celebrating the resilience, ambitions and
achievements of the African people.
Kepta Ombati
ZOC Chair, 2013 - 2016

Zinduka is a
force for good,
an agent of
necessity. But
to be effective,
Zinduka must
grow deep to
reach wide.

Underlying this drive is the appreciation that

meaningful change in Africa will come from
below and that our destiny is interlinked,
intertwined and inseparable irrespective of
artificial nationality.
Africas unity and progress will only be
achieved by the will, demand and action of
the people. We recognize that Africans are
daily resisting divisions in their own ways,
driving forward and closer... what is lacking
is a groundswell of committed Panafricanists;
of men and women committed to fulfilling the
generations mission.
Zinduka is a force for good, an agent of
necessity. But to be effective, Zinduka must
grow deep to reach wide. Zinduka Festival
2016 must be different and must be special.
We need to closely look inwards to be more
effective outward. We must review and retool.

Our valorous ancestors
Gave themselves bodies and souls
As far as making you a big nation
You overcame the colonial-imperialistic yoke
That has devastated Africa entirely
And has your joy of your sovereign independence
Acquired that constantly we will defend.
Maintain this cape, beloved Rwanda,
Standing, we commit for you
So that peace reigns countrywide
That you are free of all hindrance
That your determination hires progress
That you have excellent relations with all countries
And that finally your pride is worth your esteem.

And sing songs of freedom with joy;

Saluting our martyrs whose blood
Cemented our national foundation,
We vow to protect our nation.

AFRICANS RISING;
CHANGE FROM BELOW
Under the theme Africans Rising; Change from below, the 2016
Zinduka Festival will bring together representatives from the
grassroots social movements and communities, national and regional
CSOs, artists and activists, public intellectuals and policy-makers
and the media into a space for intense reflection, celebrations and
contribution to the emerging new Africa.
Zinduka is predicated on the belief that true change is only possible
when people become the agency for change and not merely
beneficiaries or victims. It is about raising problems facing the people
and providing solutions, and about hope; giving people hope for a
better Africa.
Zinduka is about people and communities rising; how much is
Africa rising for the people and their communities; but perhaps more
importantly, are the people and communities rising? A true reflection
is through people changing their conditions by getting involved,
participating and making things happen. Here we deal with questions
such as: What changes do East Africans want or need? Do we have
unanimity between the changes people yearn for and those the leaders
are pursuing? Does the integration process provide real incentives for
change? How can the people seize the moment and shape their own
destiny?

space mostly in tents with a capacity of 50 to 100 persons.
The structure of typical conferences consists of keynotes, plenaries, and panels, turning
many of the attendees into passive spectators. At the convenings, the structure of the
sessions is about the interaction between participants, they self organize these sessions,
choose moderators and debug each others problems, without much administration.

The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the

Revolution: Zinduka Festival Viewing Guide

Mon, 28TH Nov. 2016, 7.00 - 10.00 PM

ABOUT THE FILM

The main festival film will be The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, a feature-length documentary
about the history of the Black Panther Party with first-person accounts by early members of the organization
and rank-and-file members in cities like Chicago, Oakland, Los Angeles, and New York, as well as the
voices of lawyers, journalists, scholars, police officers, and former FBI agents.
In the 1960s, change was coming to America. Those seeking to drastically transform the system believed
radical change was not only feasible, but imminent. For a short time, the Black Panther Party for SelfDefense put itself at the vanguard of that change.
VIEWING GUIDE
The film is meant to encourage participants to think critically about civil rights, activism, and the history
of policing in the United States viz a viz in our countries. A short panel discussion will follow to open
up discussion on issues of government surveillance, the role of media in shaping a movement, and the
relationship between peaceful and violent protest.

Sun, 27TH Nov. 2016,

7.00 - 10.00 PM

This optimistic and principled film makes a

compelling case for peoples direct participation
in the East Africa Community integration

CARTOON EXHIBITION

28TH - 30TH Nov. 2016, 8.00 AM - 6.00 PM

This year sees the launch of Zinduka Festivals first cartoon exhibition. Opening on 28-30 November, the exhibition
will feature over 30 cartoons curated by Zahid Rajan a human rights activist furthering the aims of Human Rights, Good
Governance and Accountability in Kenya.
In line with the festivals theme Africans Rising: Change from below, the cartoons confront us with tough questions. Is
Africa Rising? Perhaps more importantly, are the people and communities rising? What changes do East Africans want
or need? Do we have unanimity between the changes people yearn for and those the leaders are pursuing? Does the
integration process provide real possibilities for change? How can people seize the moment and shape their own destiny?
In the 2017 edition, Zinduka Festivals cartoon exhibition will feature live big-board cartoon drawing, cartoon murals,
caricatures and cartoon workshops. There will also be opportunities for the citizens attending Zinduka to release their
inner cartooning and pull a few surprises by drawing caricatures of their own. We hope you enjoy our 2016 exhibition.
