tasks and objects in Kampala. UCASDR have introduced them to local artisans,
including three generations of a family of brush/broom makers living in Mulago
- Nsoba near Kalerwe as well as a group of carpenters working in Kalerwe market who produce the familiar 'home
banks' made from cheap or recycled wood pictured here . Their work
