Rwandan Arts Klub

A fine club atmosphere; a pop-up store; Rwandan art, music, fashion and film; visual impressions mixed with discourse and DJ programs. That is the RWANDAN ARTS KLUB. For three days, an emancipative space opens in the Kampnagel Club in which young actors from the Kigali arts scene discuss their work and visions for Rwanda.
