Documentary Photographer and Videographer

About me

Hi, my name is Cynthia Butare.

I am a creative who has been living back home for the past 6 years.

I use this space to share a representation of Rwanda that fights bias and broadens perceptions.

Being convinced that creativity is intimately linked to the very essence of who we are, I moved to Rwanda  to stimulate new ideas and reorient my thoughts, hoping to produce striking visuals with more depth and nuance. 

While my approach is plural involving writing, photography, videography – it focuses on culture, identity, and self-expression with poetry and sensibility to soothe the soul and enliven the spirits.
