Description
During the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, more than one million people lost their lives in just 100 days.Today, there are 243 memorials, often marking sites where genocide took place. Many memorials preserve the remains of those who perished. Kwibuka Rwanda highlights a small selection of these memorials, telling the story of genocide survivors’ attempts to come to terms with loss and trauma. It gives voice to the ‘care-takers’, survivors who work at memorials, honouring the dead by cleaning and preserving their remains.
