To say the least, you\u2019re not an artist if you\u2019ve never set foot in this prestigious facility. Let alone, caught sight of its chalkboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among its exceptional multi-disciplinary talent is Jennifer Agnes Tuyishimire\u2014a 23-year-old female sculptor. You read that right, a sculptor\u2014an unusual form of art, more so in women. <em>Now let me put this straight. I\u2019m not trying to define gender roles here. Instead, I\u2019m stating what reports say<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On joining Nyundo, Jennifer was \u2018set\u2019 to upskill her drawing skills\u2013according to her definition of ceramics and sculpture, a sixteen year old by the time. Nonetheless, even after realising that what she had signed up for was novel, her decision was not deterred.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were given an opportunity to switch subjects, but I didn\u2019t change my mind,\u201d she stated. In a tone brimming with passion, Jennifer explained that she was curious to discover this new journey. A curiosity that would later grow into passion every time a piece of clay or wood transformed into a beautiful creation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process, however, was filled with shortcomings\u2014unsolicited breakages. This birthed a sense of fear in Jeniffer, but she soldiered on. Mastering techniques like patience, caution and confidence as tools for conquering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Present day, she can not be thankful enough for having embarked on sculpting. In her words, \u201c I love my craft. Time spent sculpting not only makes the \u2018impossible\u2019 possible (creating a masterpiece from a tree branch), but also brings life to my soul. From walking in nature in search of raw materials to listening to music while creating and sharing stories about different cultures, unity, among other things during exhibitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On 30th April 2025, I got an opportunity to view some of Jennifer\u2019s creations during an exhibition at \u2018Coco &amp; Phi Heritage Link\u2019 in Kicukiro. A collection of diverse art pieces that captured Rwanda\u2019s journey of healing and renewal after the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly, her artwork was contrasting from that of other exhibitors. Primarily because instead of canvas, threads and wood were used. Intrigued by how much time and effort she must possibly invest to bring to life such creations, I tasked this youngster to walk me through her creative journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"692\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"9212\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.21-692x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.21-692x1024.jpeg 692w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.21-203x300.jpeg 203w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.21-150x222.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.21-450x666.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.21.jpeg 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 692px) 100vw, 692px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"9211\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.23-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.23-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.23-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.23-150x200.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.23-450x600.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.23.jpeg 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy creative process starts with a single concept. Sometimes it\u2019s a memory, story, movie or music,\u201d she explained. This is followed by research, sketching and selecting materials for use. Preceded by shaping, carving and experimenting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked how long all this takes, Jennifer admitted that the time varies between days to years, depending on the \u2018size\u2019 of the art work. Besides, she uses different materials: wood, paint, fabric, metal, clay and recycled products, sourced within her surroundings and beyond, which makes the procedure more strenuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, her gender doesn\u2019t help the situation. Being a lady in a male dominated industry threatens Jennifer\u2019s creativity. Often, she\u2019s considered \u2018incompetent\u2019-denied space and quality materials to execute her ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, she has learnt to turn challenges into motivation, trusting the process and most importantly, using the little she has been awarded to create \u2018wonders\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI show up consistently, even when my requests have been turned down. With time, I\u2019ve learnt that women, regardless of their domain, face the same challenges. But do they give up? Definitely not. Why then should I? She remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This determination and persistence has earned Jennifer \u2018purpose\u2019. She says that doors she never imagined to open have been spread wide for her to walk through\u2014a notable one, an art exhibition in Luxembourg. Her social capital has also amplified as a result of partaking in different workshops and mentorship programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, the sky&#8217;s the limit. Jennifer\u2019s wish is to establish a sculpture studio. One where she would nurture young talents, among other things. To fulfill this, she notes that advancing her education and obtaining sufficient funds are prerequisites. Thus calling upon artists, regardless of their gender, in addition to all stakeholders to support the creative industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would love to see more support from different institutions in the form of artist residences, funding and education. Artists lack platforms for visibility and space to explore their creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the audience, Jennifer requests for \u2018engagement\u2019. \u201cI invite viewers to engage, touch and be a part of the piece&#8217;s journey. Sculptures carry equal creativity, labor and meaning like any other form of art,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Rwandan by nationality, Jennifer Agnes Tuyishimire\u2019s artwork speaks through form, color and materials. A testament to a living language that breathes stories of culture, unity, love and everyday experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trait she has carried from a tender age\u2013drawing and decorating handwritten letters to friends. And though she has ventured a manifold of crafts along the way, sculpture remains the heartbeat of her creativity. Looking up to whoever does \u2018good\u2019, whether it\u2019s supporting or uplifting others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"711\" data-id=\"9215\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.16-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.16-1.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.16-1-228x300.jpeg 228w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.16-1-150x198.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.16-1-450x593.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"957\" data-id=\"9213\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.22-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.22-1.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.22-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.22-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.22-1-768x766.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.22-1-450x449.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"689\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"9214\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.19.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.19.jpeg 689w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.19-258x300.jpeg 258w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.19-150x174.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-05-14-at-18.26.19-450x522.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ecole d&#8217;Arts de Nyundo, Rwanda has produced the best creatives in the country.
