Innovative and creative products supporting culture, art and social projects.
The idea to open up the KONArt Shop came out of our wish to support artists and social projects in Uganda by selling their products. We would also like to share with the world what moves people in Uganda, what is going on in the culture scene and in how far people with new ideas and a good spirit can have a positive impact on Ugandan’s society.
In our shop we have a huge variety of different items: clothes and bags made out of african material (kitenge), upcycling shoes, crafts and bags made out of PCV material or car tires, t-shirts and hoodies with cool prints and massages, up cycling earrings made out of bottle cap and much more…
Since there is not al lot of national fundings for arts and culture in Uganda it can be quite tough for artists to survive of their art. Therefore they find other ways of making money (for example through selling self made products)
so that they can have another income.
We would like to support that so that artist can have more freedom and time to realize projects and to make Ugandan’s art scene grow further.
Another important thing for us is to support people in challenging situations like for example people with disabilities.
We aim to support them by spreading what they do, raising awareness and making sure they can earn a living.
So basically you do not only make yourself happy when you get something from KONArt shop
but you also support artist and social projects in Uganda.
And for the creative people among you: we also sell african material (kitenge) so that you can tailor something yourself.
You will find a short profile and links for further information about the artist in the product description.
