RWANDAN CRAFTS
A wide range of traditional handicrafts is produced in
rural Rwanda, ranging from ceramics and basketry to
traditional woodcarvings and contemporary paintings. A
good selection of crafted artifacts can be viewed in the
main market or street stalls in Kigali, while an excellent
place to peruse and purchase modern art works is the
capital's Centre for the Formation of Arts.
A distinctively Rwandan craft is the cow dung 'paintings'
that are produced by a local co-operative in the village of
Nyakarimbi near the Rusumo Falls border with Tanzania.
Dominated by black, brown and white whorls and other
geometric abstractions, these unique and earthy works
can be bought in Kigali, but it's worth diverting to source
to see how the paintings are reflected in local house
decorations.

Museum at Butare.
