Artists Helping Gorillas

Category: Art of Conservation (AoC), Community Based Tourism, art | Date: Nov 05 2008 | By: Julie

We are at a small boutique in the northern province of Rwanda - not far from the protected area where the endangered mountain gorillas live.

Madame Gaudencia RUSINGIZANDEKWE describes how an artisan may improve his or her own life through handicrafts and other forms of art. Perhaps, one artist at a time, one empowered individual at a time may prove peoples ability to symbiotically cohabit with nonhuman species.


In her own words…Gaudencia RUSINGIZANDEKWE.
