KIGALI CENTER FOR PHOTOGRAPHY

The Kigali center for Photography is the first and only of its kind in Kigali,Rwanda . The Center aims to explore and promote Rwandan and foreign photography, support emerging Rwandan artists and explore beyond the medium.

Located in Kigali's largely residential neighbourhood of Kacyiru, the venue is an enclosed space, which well suits one in need of a calm atmosphere, which we guess is a requirement for creatives.
