@Kigali_Memorial @RwandaYouthArts @UbumuntuArtFest @HopeAzeda @mashirikarwanda @IntekoyUmuco @Aegis_Trust @Unity_MemoryRw "From the roots, We rise".

Inzozi Dance Company's performance embodies this year's theme, "Holding on, Holding Together". No words, just dance moves that speak, the audience listens. #UbumuntuArtsFestival is indeed where arts meets humanity. #Ubumuntu2026.

A special moment at the @UbumuntuArtFest with @HopeAzeda: for the first time, an Israeli dance ensemble, Al-Atlal, took the stage in Kigali. Hearing both Hebrew and Arabic on stage was a powerful reminder that art can build bridges where words often cannot. 🇮🇱🇷🇼

Day two of Ubumuntu Arts Festival was about the power of words, stories and creative expression.

The Literature Day event took place at INZIRA Creative Hub, led by multidisciplinary artist Delah Dube, with young creatives, poets, writers and multi-format artists coming together to share, listen and create.

The day also featured a guest session led by Nigerian audio producer Fay Fay bringing another layer to the conversation on storytelling and sound.

It was a beautiful reminder that literature is not only found on pages. It lives in voice, memory, performance, rhythm and the many ways people carry their stories.

3 days to the 12th edition of #UbumuntuArtsFestival, are you excited?

[Ubumuntu Arts Festival @UbumuntuArtFest]

In a world where everything is connected, why do we still feel so far from one another?

At this year's #UbumuntuArtsFestival, Agahozo Shalom bring us "The Space Between Us," a musical theatre production about longing, connection, and the fragile human need to belong.
