Präsentation New Street Art in Kigali
Präsentation
This presentation is a follow-up to the mural art project on creative communities and urban expression. It was organised by Kurema, Kureba, Kwiga (To Create, To See, To Learn) in December and brought together leading street artists, muralists, and graffiti writers from across East Africa who created new works of public art in Kigali.Rwandan artists Bonfils Ngabonziza, Isaac Umuhire, & Innocent Buregeya were joined by Raz and Jobray from Uganda, Wisetwo from Kenya, and Meddy of the Wachata crew from Tanzania. From early December 2016, these artists lead design workshops and street painting exercises that encouraged expression and creativity with youth from Kimisagara sector, resulting in a series of vibrant community murals, made by and for the community itself. Today’s presentation provides you with an insight on the creative and unusual results of the mural arts project.
