The Kigali arts season opened this week with a programme built around archival photography, including negatives recovered from private collections.

Curators describe the season as an attempt to place contemporary work alongside archival material rather than treating the archive as background. Several exhibitions list works shown publicly for the first time.

Programme details are drawn from published listings and curator statements.
