PROGRAMME

The exhibition "To the Extinct Stars" shows a selection of works from the larger exhibition "In the Memory of Those Who Remained", which took place at Graz City Hall from December 2024 to February 2025.

The aim of the exhibition is to give the unique memories of Rwandans in Rwanda and in the diaspora the space they deserve and to offer the public the opportunity to connect with the thoughts, memories and accounts of those who experienced the genocide as parents or children.

The texts and drawings on display are the result of a therapeutic process that brings together artistic creation and healing imagination. The forms of commemoration developed by the survivors can be described as "hybrid" in that they blend cultural traditions and contain a strong spiritual dimension to commemorate the deceased and help the bereaved cope with their grief.
