The Theseus Temple will once again host an exhibition by the Weltmuseum Wien in 2026 as part of the WMW Contemporary series. Kiteezi marks the first time an installation by Ugandan artist Nabukenya Allen (artist name: Njola), founder of the Njola Impressions studio, will be on view in Austria.
Drawing on the aftermath of an environmental tragedy, Nabukenya Allen transforms loss into renewal: Her installation *Kiteezi*, adapted for the Theseus Temple and named after the main waste disposal site in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, addresses the social and ecological consequences of urban waste and focuses on the people who live and work in the vicinity of the landfill.
The work links a real-life catastrophe to issues that also affect Europe: waste, consumption, and global responsibility.
