Beyond Tribalism: Seeking a New Cultural Identity for East Africa An analysis and interview with artist James Kitamirike exploring cultural and personal elements within several of his paintings. Presumptions of tradition The subject matter chosen by artist James Kitamirike An understanding of the complex mosaic of prevailing cultures throughout East Africa reveals that cultural elements depicted in Kitamirike’s works converge in a completely new way. Instead of straight-forward representation, Kitamirike’s unique "cultural impressions" introduced within these works assemble a new vision for East Africa’s cultural legacy. Beyond representation: a question of cultural identity Examples of culture swapping Those familiar with predominant indigenous groups throughout the region are struck by the apparent paradox of "Beauty". Often with alarm, questions: "Where is this woman from? There is no tribe which dresses exactly like that, wears such jewelry, and appears this way! Her jewelry is from Kenya, her clothes are from Mali, and her features perhaps Ethiopian? It’s a beautiful image, yes, but it’s incorrect." It isn’t long before more "incorrect" cultural combinations are discovered within Kitamirike’s works. "

Bicycle Africa East Africa Programs Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya EAST AFRICA ADVENTURE East Africa offers a potpourri from anthropology to zoology; pearls of geological wonders, renowned wildlife, tantalizing environmental diversity, motivated rural economic development, modern urban centers and specimens of the oldest known human fossils. This is the land so eloquently described in the writings of Karen Blixen ('Out Of Africa'), Beryl Markham ('West With The Night') and dozens of other writers. Splitting the highlands of East Africa is the 3000 mile long Great Rift Valley. The same powerful forces that split the earth set the stage for the diverse habitats that not only support the big game animals, but also nurture more species of birds than any similar sized area on earth. Equally fascinating are social forces in the region a long history of highly organized kingdoms, shifting indigenous populations, centuries of trade with seafaring Arabs and a far shorter but intense period of European colonialism. Bicycle across beautiful steppes and scenic plateaus, past lakes, lush green forests and hills, and countless traditional villages. Bicycling is restricted in the game parks (for good reason) so vans are used where necessary on the program. These programs are run January-February or July-August-September and can be in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Rwanda and Burundi (
