Started in July 2011, Spoken Word Rwanda (SWR) - the first of its kind in Rwanda, is all about bringing people together to celebrate the expression of self. SWR does this through a dynamic fusion of poetry, story telling, hip hop poetry, beat boxing, song and any other powerful avenue of self expression.
Reflecting the rich multi-lingualism of Rwanda, performances at SWR are in English, French and Kinyarwanda. Poetry readings are done by people from diverse backgrounds that range from secondary school students, performing artists, young professionals and visiting tourists, against a backdrop of different nationalities. This initiative takes place every last Thursday of the month at different locations around Kigali.
