Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>It is still a hectic way to life of art in Kigali, mostly because people don\u2019t understand that art can be a full-time job rather than a side hustle.<\/p>\n

That is according to Kakizi Jemima a visual artist since 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cRwandans have a mindset that a person cannot make a living through visual art, which is the main problem. Even though we have a school of art, art is still a long way to go,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might be hard for someone to buy an artwork of Rwf 100,000 when they know that they don\u2019t have enough food for the following three to four days,\u201d supports Kakizi\u2019s fellow artist Neza Shemsa.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a Maya Angelou\u2019s quote that goes \u201cMake every effort to change anything you do not like. If you can\u2019t make a change, change the way you have been thinking, you might find a solution\u201d Kakizi Jemima believes that women should take the lead and create methods for showcasing their work rather than relying only on invites to exhibit.<\/p>\n

Kakizi decided to come up with an all-female art exhibition to feature her fellow artists and called it \u201cAt the Entrance\u201d.<\/p>\n

It revolves around the idea of everything having a beginning, as there\u2019s so much to discover when you enter a new room.<\/p>\n

As a result, the exhibition aims to provide visibility for Rwandan female artists who are active in contemporary art in Rwanda while also demonstrating how engaging young Rwandan women are through visual artistic practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it is a long way to go to change the mindset but everything has a beginning that is why we hope to see the dialogue of women empowerment translate into giving women opportunities and spaces to express their ideas and to continue stimulating conversations that bring change in our community so as to bring change we want to see,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the entrance\u201d exhibition will feature 8 women artists including Ilibagiza Angela, Neza Shemsa, Crista Uwase, Lynka Lydie, Luladey T.Teshome, Ingabire Gretta, Kanyange Louise and the organiser Kakizi Jemima. It will start from 12th and run through 26th February at Kigali Soul Gallery.<\/p>\n
