Die Lage in Uganda ist nach dem neuen Gesetz, das Homosexualtität strafbar macht (bis zur Todesstrafe …) und auch Personen, die Homosexuelle kennen und diese nicht denunzieren, verfolgen kann, noch unmenschlicher geworden. So beurteilt Erik Altorfer die Situation im ostafrikanischen Land. Altorfer ist Hörspielmacher und hat die Künstler:innen im Produktionsprozess der hier präsentierten Hörstücke begleitet. 

In den Kurzhörspielen geht es um Themen wie Chauvinismus, häusliche Gewalt oder auch Flucht vor Armut. Über persönliche Erfahrungen zu sprechen - auch in der Kunst - sei gefährlich. Umso wichtiger sei es, sich mit den Künstler:innen aus Uganda zu solidarisieren. Ein Grund mehr, warum Radio X den jungen Kunstschaffenden und ihren Geschichten eine Plattform geben will. 

Die Hörstücke sind dank der Unterstützung von Pro Helvetia Johannesburg entstanden.
