The Ambition Dancers

2024 | Mixed media: Denim, Paper, Glue, & Acrylic on Canvas, Stretched on Wood Frame

Representing culture as a powerful language that connects and defines a community, the dancers in this Rwandan contemporary piece are driven by ambition—each with a unique purpose. Some dance to inspire change, while others seek to make their country known worldwide through the beauty of their cultural expression. Their goal is to transform a painful past into a narrative of pride and resilience.

Once marked by a negative image, their history is now being rewritten by these dancers, who strive to showcase the richness, strength, and creativity of their culture. While the wounds of the past have healed, the scars remain, reminding them of who they are and where they’ve come from. United, they dance not just for art, but for restoration, representation, and hope.
