Drumming Queens

2025 | Mixed Media on Canvas, Stretched on Wood Frame

The strength of women in Rwandan culture is highlighted in this African artwork, which demonstrates their capacity to take on the same responsibilities as men. In this piece, women are shown playing drums, an activity that has traditionally been reserved for men, symbolizing a strong assertion of women's empowerment in Rwanda.

Today, Rwandan women are not only involved in drumming but also occupy various leadership positions. They have been given the opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities across all sectors. Women now play a vital role alongside men in shaping and building the nation, and together they have made significant strides in improving the lives of the country’s citizens
