From April 28 to may 18, COHDS and the ALLab will host the exhibition “Mapping Memory – Atlases of Rwandan Life Stories”. This exhibition offers an immersion into the world of memory maps. Through the mapping of 21 life stories of Rwandan individuals who left their country of origin to come to Canada, this exhibition transports us from Kigali to Montreal via Bujumbura, Bukavu, Louvain and Ottawa. More than a geographical journey, these original maps invite us to take a moment to listen to these rich and inspiring stories of childhood, family, friendship, exile, genocide and resistance.
Entry is free.
