Afrika ARTS Kollective is a group of artists that decided to face Uganda's demographic growth and the garbage problem of the capital, Kamala, with art. 30,000 tons of residues come out of this monthly and the Administration is being working on healthy and good environmental behaviors among citizens.

Within this context, Afrika ARTS Kollective has developed a project called "Garbage Collectors" that encourages artists and people to produce art through recycling. According to its creators, "garbage is art"; garbage allows us to analyze what is valuable, what is not, what is useful or not. Their campaign refrains: "Don't Trash it! Art It! Function it!". These artistist bring sculpture, photography, installation, fashion and video together.
