{{Educat project on Wednesday exhibited the art results of Lars Norman Hestbaek, a Danish under-water photographer who has been working together with 5 talented young Rwandan artists for three weeks, teaching them how to merge photography and painting.}}<\/p>\n
The activity of Educat Project was aimed at putting together two different cultures of Rwanda and Denmark which can lead to entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
Lars has collaborated with young Rwandan artists who added paintings on his under water photographies from Denmark and Lake Kivu.<\/p>\n
Some of the product include pictures of Rwanda’s Olympic swimmer, Jacson Niyomugabo who trains in Lake Kivu.<\/p>\n
These art products will be sold in Denmark during a festival scheduled in July this year.<\/p>\n
Lars Norman liked both the process and the results.<\/p>\n
\u201dIt has been very inspiring to have the chance to work with a group of talented young Rwandan artists. Amazing things happen when you mix different cultures and art. <\/p>\n
We have all learned so much from each other and had a lot of fun at the same time. In this exhibition we mix Danish and Rwandan cultures as well as under-water photography and painting.\u201d he said<\/p>\n
\u201dThe exhibition helps Rwandan culture and art to be promoted in Denmark and at inernational level,\u201dInnocent Nkurunziza, one of Rwandan artists said.<\/p>\n
Ruyonza Anlette in charge of Art promotion in the Ministry of Sport and culture appreciated the achievements of the partnership between Educat and Rwandan artists.<\/p>\n
Ruyonza said the Ministry has organised a festival(Jumafest:Jumuia ya Afurika ya Mashariki Utamaduni Festival) in February this year which will be attended by artists from East African Region, to learn from one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
