This public event features three young Rwandan artists working in painting, music, acting, and poetry. Their work engages multiple senses (sight, hearing, touch) as they work to care for traditional artistic practices while also inventing new modes of expression. To begin the event, each of the three artists will speak for 15-20 minutes about their work. Then the moderator will ask questions for the three of them, and then we will take questions from the audience.
Celebrate the official launch of the Yale Council on African Studies’ Through the Eyes of She initative, with remarks by the initative’s Founder and Chair, Dr. Christine Ngaruiya, and Council Chair Professor Cajetan Iheka.
