Oral Histories in Kigali  (December 10, 2026-December 17, 2026) Rwanda 
Thank you for applying to our Rwanda Oral Histories Workshop 

This seven day immersion in Kigali centers oral history as a method of listening, documentation, and ethical engagement. Mornings are devoted to guided workshops on oral history theory, interview practice, and narrative responsibility, while afternoons focus on place-based learning through visits to sites such as the Kigali Genocide Memorial and community spaces central to Rwanda’s contemporary cultural life. Designed for writers, artists, students, scholars, and NGO professionals, this program offers a focused environment for learning how stories are gathered, held, and shared—shaped by history, memory, and relational accountability.


We will begin reviewing applications on February 1, 2026, and will continue to accept participants on a rolling basis until the workshop is full. Applicants can expect a response from our workshop board within two weeks of submission.  

*Please Note: Early applications are encouraged. Prior workshops have filled within two months.
