OKUZA

“Okuza” means “gathering” in the Lugbara language — a sacred coming together to communicate and share knowledge.

For AVA, Okuza is more than a gathering: it is a safe space for those seeking a deeper journey into Uganda’s ancient heritage while experiencing the intertwined dimensions of past, present, and future.

Within Okuza, the project series “Mi Emu Akua” stands as a central pillar — alongside other performances, artistic expressions, and cultural explorations that make up AVA’s evolving journey.
