Different on the outside, carrying different identities but we bleed the same red, and our wounds speak the same language. 📍 Museum Ingabo

The Question asked by @RwandaisOpen on LinkedIn : 📌:

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY! #MuseumIngabo

Art is not only an expression; it is a vessel of memory and a bridge between time and truth. Through it, we narrate our history, reveal the depths of our past to the world, and illuminate the path toward the future we dare to imagine. With the staff from African Leadership University at @MuseumIngabo

Walking through « INZIRA Y’INZITANE, The Story of Rwanda » is a powerful experience that allows one to feel the journey of Rwanda from 1994 to 2024. This installation stands as a reminder of where the country has come from, and honors the resilience and determination of its people to transform a painful past into a bright and hopeful future. @MuseumIngabo

Art and storytelling in contemporary museums are not only tools of preservation; they are instruments of education, memory, and collective transformation. Visit @MuseumIngabo !

Museums ought to be the center around which educational institutions should cluster, the storehouse whence they could draw the material examples and illustrations required on the lecture table and in the classroom J. Patton, Students at @MuseumIngabo

To my fellow citizens, #Rwanda is our home, a shelter in the storm, a haven of hope, a land to cherish, a nation to celebrate. Together with my fellow youth from the Diaspora at @RwandaYouthClub at @MuseumIngabo , we stand united in love for our country. We look forward to welcoming you home again. #2026

Each holiday, I host young art students, boys and girls from NYUNDO School of Arts in my studio at @MuseumIngabo , giving them the space to explore, learn, create, and freely share ideas while I share my materials and experience with them. They are eager to shape our time through art and to build the future with creativity. They are talented, passionate, and ready; they simply need opportunities to uplift their gifts and contribute to Rwanda’s creative future. Visit our studio at @MuseumIngabo , buy art, and support the next generation.

When children pass through INZIRA Y’INZITANE, a psychological walkthrough art installation that helps people understand Rwanda’s difficult journey from 1994 to 2024, it reflects how the young people of Rwanda have moved through the post-genocide period toward peace and prosperity. Some young people never directly experienced the tragedy our country faced, yet the installation helps them understand, remember, and connect with this important history.

As part of the exchange program between the University of Washington (@UW) and @alueducation, students and their professors visited the museum. I had the honor of personally lecturing them about Rwanda through art, sharing our history, resilience, and creativity. I could not let them return home without experiencing a joyful and educational moment through our Rwandan traditional dance at @MuseumIngabo , a beautiful way to connect culture, memory, and celebration.

What a powerful afternoon in Rebero, (kuri Kanali), right next to Kigali Cultural Village "mu nzu y'Agaseke" in @KicukiroDistr @CityofKigali. Today I had the privilege of touring the @MuseumIngabo, and I’m deeply grateful to @Kingabo_ for the time, generosity, and passion he poured into guiding me through the space. Every artwork speaks of memory, identity, pain, resilience, and hope. I realized the philosophy behind each piece is intentional and profound; this is not decoration, this is storytelling with conscience, art that forces you to feel, to reflect, and to care. @Unity_MemoryRw @Rwanda_Edu 1/2

While presenting Rwandan art from 1990–1994 and its aftermath, we also examine pre-colonial Rwanda, the colonial period, and 1959, when the Rwandan political landscape became divided into two main camps: pro-Belgian rule and pro-independence. The Belgian colonial administration transformed this political division into an ethnicized conflict between pro-Belgian actors and independence-minded communities. We then explore the period 1990–1994, highlighting how art played a key role in Rwandan history, through visual propaganda found in Kangura, the music of Simon Bikindi, and the liberation movement articulated through the cultural diplomacy of ISAMAZA, and more …..

‘Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.’ Pablo Picasso Painting session with Grade 4 students from @GHA_rwanda ❤️

THE QUESTIONS WERE: Why are those clothes very dirty? Did you buy them like this? Those questions came from young learners from @GHA_rwanda. And they were honest, innocent, and powerful. Then I explained to them the installation KAMWE, an installation based on the 100 days of Survivors of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi. I told them how survivors spent those 100 days in one outfit. One outfit only. I explained how they hid themselves in swamps, in mud, in forests, among bodies, trying to survive, trying to stay alive, day after day, with no place to change, no place to wash, no safety. They were all amazed and said: Aaaaah… it was not easy for them! In ONE outfit? That moment mattered. Because art is not only what we see, it is what we learn, what we feel, and what we remember.
