Pax Rwanda: Embroideries of the woman of Savane Rutongo-Kabuye, Bradford
Creator Presentation & Exhibition of the embroideries of the workshop known as Savane Rutongo-Kabuye was created by a group of Rwandan women living in the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide
against the Tutsis. They came from both sides of the conflict, yet they put the events of the past behind them to work together in the hope that their children would have a better future. Experience the story of how these exquisite pieces are made which is as captivating as the work itself.
