Inkuru means "story" in Kinyarwanda, where stories shape memory, transmit culture, and carry voices across generations.

May the genocide against the Tutsi receive the recognition and respect it deserves. May everyone know that Jesus can free us from our deepest fears and help us live fulfilling lives, even after experiencing trauma. If I can find healing and hope, so can you. My story coming soon on Sat 1 🔥
Kinda crazy to say this, but one of Germany's biggest broadcasters invited me for an interview to share my story 🥹 still processing it... can't wait to see where this goes.

And this is only the beginning. So much more is yet to come. To make sure our loved ones and what they went through are never forgotten. Thank you @InkuruLibrary
“Ich habe diese bewegende Geschichte in einem Rutsch durchgelesen, weil sie mich so gefesselt hat, das furchtbare Leid, das damals über einen ganzen Volksstamm eingebrochen ist, die furchtbare und sinnlose Zerstörung einer Welt, die vormals lebendig und fröhlich war, die Fragen, die ein solches Leid aufwerfen und auch das Staunen darüber, dass Gott den Einzelnen sieht und ihn nicht im Stich lässt, dass er ihn auf behutsame und doch bestimmte Weise in Freiheit und Sicherheit führt und ER die Menschen, trotz vieler unbeantworteter Fragen, nie im Stich lässt. Marie findet in Jesus die Antwort. Für alles! Das hat mich sehr bewegt und das wünsche ich mir auch und allen, die dieses bewegende Buch lesen!” (Amazon Review) 📸: Pauline #Literatura #Literature #DigitalMemory #DigitalMuseum #InkuruCollection

Ikibasumba Umutoniwabose yavuste ari uruhinja rufite uburanga butangaje. Se yamukubise amaso, ahita amwita Ikibasumba. Kuba yari akurikiye abana b'abahungu batanu bari bamaze kuba bakuru, byatumye uwo mubyeyi atekereza cyane. Ni ko kubaza nyina w'umwana ati: "Ese uyu mukobwa wacu, bariya basaza be ntibazajya bamurwanira? Ni nde uzamwitaho byihariye? Ni nde uzamukunda kandi akamurengera kurusha abandi?" Ihurizo riba rirerire. Nyina ageze aho amusubiza atuje ati "Azibera umutoni wa bose." Irindi zina aba arimuhaye atyo. Zaha Boo

In my faith, beliefs, and principles, I believe that culture is a basic human need, one with the power to transform lives and shape a better world. As @MuseumIngabo remains temporarily closed while we search for a new place to house it and keep its vision alive, I continue to stand firmly in my belief that “ART IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF HOPE.” Thank you, @InkuruLibrary, for reminding me of the reason why I began and why I must keep going.
“What was surprising to me was that what the world found broken in this community actually is a treasure land full of resources, energy, talent and creativity. And through working with people, I found what was missing in my life.” Lily Yeh Read More: singjupost.com/how-art-trans… On Video: King Ngabo #Imagination #Creativity #DigitalMuseum #DigitalMemory

I was pleased to contribute a chapter on Monique Ilboudo to this book dedicated to the memory of Chantal Kalisa @StAModLangs
“What is the role of aesthetic expression in responding to discrimination, tragedy, violence, even genocide? How does gender shape responses to both literal and structural violence, including implicit linguistic, familial, and cultural violence? How might writing or other works of art contribute to healing? 𝐴𝑟𝑡 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑢𝑚𝑎: 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐻𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑒𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑅𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎 explores the possibility of art as therapeutic, capable of implementation by mental health practitioners crafting mental health policy in Rwanda.” Book link: nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebras… #Storytelling #TraumaHealing #GenocideAgainstTutsi #DigitalMemory

Ubumwe buraharanirwa, kandi buri wese muri twe afite uruhare mu kubwubaka. 🇷🇼❤️ Murakoze cyane kuba mwababaye ku munsi udasanzwe. 🙏🏾@CNkulikiyinka @juniorrumaga @julesentore @titorutaremar44 @radiaterwanda @Unity_MemoryRw @MarieKresbach
