It takes confidence to wear a little red dress–go for it
She says that she loves you.
She repeats that over and over again.
She says she loves you and never waits for you to reply
She looks at you and she never fail to forgive you.
She says she is in pain but carry you in rain.
She walks miles to make you smile.
She goes, and comes but one day
she never came back and you start wishing
Having your moments back.Before she left, she said:
“I was watching you sleep the other day
And prayed that it would last.
The peace that rested on your face
I’d never seen in the past.
To a little girl I will call moonlight.
For she is as beautiful as the moon.
Her smile is like a moon lit night.
Her eyes are like a lake, That shine so big.
That you just have to love her to pieces.
As I do When moonlight grows to be a woman,
She will possess all the beauty of an angel.
Though she may ponder all life’s little problems. She will
still be moonlight to me.”
She is not coming back,is she?My mother went for good!

Days have passed and days have come;we saw a lot and we went through a lot but sometimes we seem to forget. Through all of those moments, i learnt one thing: “Forgive but never and never forget.” That’s why i love photography,painting,and other media of art. I chose to follow that because they all remind me moments,people, nature, life i used to have,sorrow, and happiness. For some of us life is not determined by big moments but small ones and we choose to cherish them for our lives to grow better and better. As Uburanga art studio curator i have been thinking of what kind of exhibition we can have in this year of 2013, it took me a bit of time to come up with this exhibition that i named: “Images of memory.” “Images of memory” is an art exhibition organized by Uburanga Arts studio; which will be held from March 29th to April 29th 2013 at Rwanda Cinema Center. Uburanga Arts Studio was found in June 2010 by a visual artist; Bakunzi Jean Bosco with the purpose of grouping together other visual artists; to share ideas,discover young talented artists and keep art alive in Rwanda. The art works (Paintings) are made using Oil and Acrylic on canvas but other materials are used to make sculptures in terms of recycling the environment. The main purpose of the exhibition is to introduce a series of art works that remind us a lot about Rwanda considering our history that included Genocide against Tutsi in April 1994. As we will be heading closer to the commemoration week, the 10% of the income will go to GISIMBA MEMORIAL CENTER as we remember our parents,siblings,and friends who died during that moment. Other ideas are to express culture through painting and share ideas with people on how to decorate their houses, offices, Hotels or buildings that gather different people including tourists; as we consider Rwanda as one of the center of tourism in Africa. We are looking forward to 2020 vision but we shall not leave behind our own culture; so help us to keep it alive by conserving it into images through painting and other media of art like photography. At uburanga art studio we believe: “Art heals people physically, mentally and emotionally” I am confident that through art, we shall build a better country and world for our children.

| The art works that are to be displayed include different sizes from 20cm to 20cm, 50cm to 60cm and 100cm to 100cm.The medium for paintings is acrylic on canvas. This exhibition will include other art works like sculptures and photographs taken with 16000 XD SLRs cameras. The photos keep the same theme of “Images of memory” Photography is a strong field in Rwanda but many people don’t understand what it is about for our community therefore this exhibition will be to introduce young Rwandan photographers and i am very sure this will help them to move forward.“We believe that art heals people physically,mentally and emotionally.”

Look good,never lose it,it’s amazing for you!To day it’s Christmas and apparently we are all supposed to be happy.I am saying this because there may be some people who are not happy because of different situations of life.Look,you have the right to be sad but today i was inspired by a young woman whose mother died in a car accident on a Christmas eve sixteen years ago.She tells us to do not take any one for granted.A smile will be a perfect outfit for you today,and don’t say it doesn’t fit before you try it on!It comes slow by slow and reaches your heart then you feel released and happy!!Wear a smile,i am sure it matches your red lip gloss,your long dress,your yellow shirt or your white hat!
Merry Christmas to you,
With Love,
Kevine.
