Interlude Rwanda stands as a pioneering initiative founded by Bonita Mutoni and Cristina Romelli Gervasoni, embarking on an unprecedented journey to explore the depths of Rwanda's rich heritage.It is a testament to the resilience of the nation and the profound power of art to shape narratives and inspire fresh perspectives.

Through commissioned site-specific installations to Rwandan’s creatives, Interlude Rwanda weave together the threads of art, architecture, and design, aiming to ignite a profound dialogue that resonates with the country's diverse cultural tapestry and its natural landscapes. Entitled “Reconnecting Memory through Art, Design, and Architecture,” the exhibition is curated by Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte and features bespoke installations. This six-month exhibition serves as a dynamic stage for Rwanda's creatives, presenting a collective expression that resonates with a global audience.

Curated by Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte, the inaugural exhibition "Reconnecting Memory through Art, Design and Architecture," is designed as a pioneering exploration of the country’s heritage through art, architecture, and design. It showcases local and unique practices in a dialogue directly connected with the environment.
Interlude serves as an open platform and a convergence point for optimistically rethinking our approach to culture and context. This platform aims to benefit the local community on both local and global scales and is envisioned across three different countries of the region, fostering mobility and dialogues around historical domestic landmarks rich with significant history. This setting provides a canvas for different interpretations and questions on how to reinterpret the past, present, and future through the interaction between context and installations.
The pieces presented, all commissions cultivated over a year of collaboration with the contributing artists, seek to challenge conventional practices and perspectives, inviting both creators and audience into a unique, site-specific conversation.

Interlude Rwanda celebrates the power of generosity, tapping into the gift economy's heart, where values are measured in creation and connections, where the generosity of those contributing fuels our team and where giving outshines material wealth, crafting a culture of kindness and reciprocal care offering a transformative approach to how we set up a business and how we view giving and receiving in society.
