ICPA seeks to initiate collaborations with other cultural institutions in Uganda, East Africa and beyond in its co-operations.
Indigenous Traditions in Uganda, like in many other African communities, are known to have been transmitted through Traditional Music and Dances in local communities. Traditional culture has been and still is the anchor of most, if not all communal activities in Africa.
In Ugandan communities for example, the arts, such as Music and Dance, are imbedded in all aspects of life from birth to death. An education system that ignores the development of such an aspect of life would be regarded insufficient in relation to a specific community.
The TaSCA Institute of Indigenous Cultures & Performing Arts taps into this diverse, informative, educative, and still accessible resource from within the community, thereby bring both the youth and community elders together.
The institute not only considers cultures in the Buganda area where the project is situated, but is also concerned with other music and dance cultures too, making use, and developing the over 65 existing indigenous cultures of Uganda, thereby cultivating a local multi-cultural perception. It seeks to initiate collaborations with other cultural institutions in Uganda, East Africa and beyond in its co-operations.
