Activity

he Ikiren­ga Artis­tic Free­dom Ini­tia­tive is a project of Ikiren­ga Art and Cul­ture Pro­mo­tion, imple­ment­ed in part­ner­ship with and on the full fund of UNESCO through its UNESCO-Aschberg Pro­gramme. The project aims to sup­port and enhance ini­tia­tives that pro­tect and pro­mote artis­tic free­dom across Rwan­da. The project com­pris­es three essen­tial phas­es:

1. Research:   Under research, we will con­duct a study to com­pre­hen­sive­ly under­stand the chal­lenges, gaps, and oppor­tu­ni­ties with­in the Rwan­dan artis­tic com­mu­ni­ty.

2. Capac­i­ty Build­ing:  Our “Capac­i­ty Build­ing” ini­tia­tive will offer tar­get­ed train­ing pro­grams to equip artists with the skills and knowl­edge need­ed to address the chal­lenges iden­ti­fied dur­ing the research phase.

3. Exhi­bi­tion: As part of the project, the “Exhi­bi­tion” phase will pro­vide trained artists with a plat­form to show­case their cre­ative tal­ents. This exhi­bi­tion will serve as an oppor­tu­ni­ty for artists to present their work to a wide audi­ence, includ­ing investors, stake­hold­ers, part­ners, and the gen­er­al pub­lic.
