During the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, more than one million people lost their lives in just 100 days. Today, there are more than 240 memorials, mostly in places (or near places) where massacres happened.  Kwibuka Rwanda highlights a small selection of these memorials, telling the story of the ‘care-takers’, genocide survivors who work at memorials, honouring the dead by cleaning and preserving their remains. 

The exhibition is based on research into memory and justice in Rwanda by Dr Julia Viebach, and curated in consultation with the Pitt Rivers Museum, members of Ishami Foundation, and members of the Rwandan community in Oxford, UK.
