Heroes of Our Time: Rwandan Courage & Survival
About the Exhibition
SURF's Exhibition 2006 is entitled Heroes of Our Time: Rwandan Courage & Survival. It presents a history of the genocide and focuses on the plight of survivors today through the stories of four heroic survivors – Siméon Karamaga, Daphrose Mukangarambe, Cassien Mbanda and Ange Cendrine Mukayitesi.
The exhibition is a first for Survivors Fund and will play a vital role in our work over the coming year. It provides a detailed history of Rwanda, setting the context as to how the colonial years sowed the seeds for the genocide of 1994.
More importantly though, Heroes of Our Time: Rwandan Courage & Survival tells the stories of the survivors of the genocide and raises awareness about the issues that they face today – in particular the continuing fight for justice and the current threat from reprisals being committed by the very same perpetrators of the genocide against whom they are testifying at ongoing gacaca trials.
