BODA BODA (MOTOR BIKE TAXI) BATIK

 The bodaboda or motorbike taxis is a big public transport industry throughout East Africa. With the absence of modern transport infrastructure, these motorbikes are the best choice for many because they are quick and their ability to maneuver the narrow streets clogged with traffic jam. In Kampala, the Ugandan capital, they are everywhere ridden by mostly young men who depend on the little income generated to take care their families. This batik shows a scene at a traffic stop in Kampala. Batik on cotton fabric.
