Born in Masaka, Uganda, Collin Sekajugo, following artistic study tours to over 15 countries around the world, returned to Rwanda in early 2007 with a mission to “USE ART TO CHANGE LIVES.”
For nearly a decade, these words have become more than a credo for the self-taught artist, who dedicated himself to founding and directing the first Arts Contemporary arts center in Rwanda i.e Ivuka Arts. An ambitious arts organization, Ivuka has for the past 6 years been committed to building community through the arts by providing promising young artists the skills, platform, and exposure through which they may blossom as Rwanda’s next generation of cultural entrepreneurs and ambassadors.
