INEMA ARTS
Founded in 2012 by brothers and self-taught painters Innocent Nkurunziza and Emmanuel Nkuranga, Inema Arts spurs creativity for personal, social and economic growth in the Rwandan capital of Kigali. Inema’s goals are to develop the untapped potential of artists in Rwanda, to use creative expression as a way to bring the community and country alive, and to provide exposure and create opportunities for Rwanda’s most underserved communities. Today, Inema Arts is a beacon for creative expression and a top destination for international visitors to Rwanda.
An essential part of Rwandan art
In 2024, we helped Inema announce the selection of seven new artists in residence: Abushariaa Ahmed, Timothy Akimanzi, Arnold Birungi, Denis Mpabuka, Mark Kassi, Julius Katende, Rebecca Mironko, Sam Kambari and Timothy Wandulu.
