Katambayi has participated in several residencies and a few international exhibitions. His most distinguished residency was in 2010 at l’Ecole Supérieure d’Art d’Aix en Provence in 2010, where he concentrated his efforts on establishing a connection between colour and the sense of touch. His work ‘Escon’ scrutinizes the dilemma between intention and destiny and serves to function as a means of participating in a contemporary litany that examines the environmental regard of Africa. He is interested in what motivates the transformation of societies, particularly those that are called to produce energy.
