Poems from Future Architects

During a trip to Rwanda in the summer of 2013, I was fortunate to meet some of the first cohorts of students graduating from the country's first architecture program. Here are five near-graduates reciting poems that try to explain "Where I'm From". Shot in and around their homes in Kigali. 9 min, 2014.

 

Birancyanga ("Confusing")

Edited for "A Kigali Conversation", a public forum held at the Goethe Institut in the capital, discussing the urban planning policies in Kigali. Featuring a song by Rwandan rap artist Ama G the Black, using footage I shot during the summer of 2013.  3 1/2 min, 2015.
