Street art is a new phenomenon in Rwanda, and there are few places where you can find street painting or graffiti like those found in Dar es Salaam or Nairobi for instance, where the trend has even taken on political overtones.

While most Kigali residents are unsure of this kind of art, a non-governmental social-enterprise called Kurema, Kureba, Kwiga, (to create, to see, to learn) has entered into partnership with Sadolin Paints to increase the acceptance of educative street art through a project called Arts Umuganda project.
