Yiiya is a design documentary that presents a critical perspective on Uganda’s import culture and the current aid-model. With Yiiya, we hope to challenge the industrial design industry by highlighting the importance of local context in developing solutions for low-resource environments. Through the stories of local artisans, architects and designers, we hope to inspire us to imagine a future where design enriches lives and uplifts communities. It invites us to admire local talent and create products that speak the language of the people they serve.
