A few words about your artistic career
I am an emerging choreographer and visual artist from Rwanda. I am currently based in Kigali and since 2015 I have been exploring themes such as: the body, memory, identity and the power of visuals.
How long have you been an artist?
I started formal dance performances in 2010. In 2014 I started creating my own work in dance theatre and a year later in visual arts.
Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?
I applied for this grant because I want to continue working, creating, collaborating and sharing my art with the world. It's also a good opportunity for my visibility as an emerging Rwandan contemporary artist on international artistic platforms.
What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?
I want to be able to engage with other colleagues in Kigali and continue to explore this new medium of digital art work with other future personal projects. I want to be able to start initiating as many other possible collaborations with different regional artists, institutions and art companies as we redefine the new norms of working in the art industry.
