London's Chisenhale Gallery is hosting the first UK solo exhibition of Wakaliga Uganda, the Kampala film collective better known as Wakaliwood. 'Kibuuka Omumbaale', a major new video commission, opened on 2 October 2026 and runs until 6 December, with free entry at the gallery's Chisenhale Road space in Bow. The collective, founded by Isaac and Harriet Nabwana, has built a devoted international following with ultra-low-budget action films made with casts drawn from Kampala's streets and props assembled from scrap, borrowing the language of Hollywood blockbusters to satirise global power. The new 40-minute film centres on Kibuuka Omumbaale, a warrior-god of the Kingdom of Buganda, and reimagines him through the conventions of the superhero film. Its starting point is one of the earliest acts of cultural restitution in British history: the 1961 repatriation of Kibuuka's remains from the University of Cambridge to the Uganda Museum in Kampala, an event woven into the formation of the independent Ugandan state. In a present-day setting, a teenager named Isaak encounters the displayed remains during a school trip and unexpectedly acquires the warrior-god's supernatural powers, while a doppelganger embodies Kibuuka's darker aspects. The screening keeps faith with Kampala exhibition culture by featuring a 'video joker', a live-commentary tradition in which a disembodied voice offers jokes, asides and running interpretation over the film. The commission, made with the Wakaliga community and co-commissioned with The Santozeum in Santorini, threads colonial expropriation and restitution through a popular-cinema form, speaking directly to a British audience about where looted objects belong. A public programme of panel discussions accompanies the run, extending the conversation around the film's historical and spiritual material.
