Art Fusion Night

09/15/2026

Day Two was also about the conversations behind the creativity.

Beyond what we create is the journey of becoming. The choices, challenges, identity, purpose, and people that shape where we go next.

From Naomie Nishimwe’s personal reflections on identity and life beyond the crown, to MKO and Kaya Byinshii exploring creativity, culture, and the artist’s journey, to Khalilu Rahman and Jean-Jacques Koffi bringing perspectives from marketing, entrepreneurship, and building African ideas into sustainable brands, and Matheo Studio’s Maurice Niyigena taking us inside his journey through fashion, culture, and creative storytelling.

Different journeys. Different perspectives. One shared question: What does the future look like for the modern African creative?

At AFN, the art starts the conversation. The people take it further.

Day Two: Through Art and Conversation.

Not to observe, but to discover, to listen, and to connect. But somewhere between the art and conversations, the audience became part of the story too.

Different backgrounds. Different perspectives. Shared curiosity.

This isn’t only about what we put in the room. It’s about the people brought into it, and the connections that happen when they meet.

Day Two, through the people who experienced it.

09/13/2026

Before the conversations. Before the performances. Before the room came alive in a different way, there was a moment to slow down, look closer and experience the stories on the walls.

Different arts. Different cultures. Different ways of seeing the world, brought together in one creative experience.

The art is never just the backdrop. It is where the conversation begins.

With art on the walls. Conversations in the room. Connections being made. A beautiful beginning to AFN’s first chapter in East Africa.

Where Culture Inspires Creation.

Now we trade the gallery for the dance floor.

Art Fusion Night Rwanda closes at Kigali Lounge, with DJ Cboy taking us from exhibition energy to after-dark energy.

Come for the vibes. Stay for the sound.
One last night. One last dance.

DJ Marnaud brings more than a set to Art Fusion Night Rwanda. He brings a creative journey shaped by sound, performance, and culture.

From his early connection to music and traditional Rwandan dance to becoming one of Rwanda’s recognisable personalities, producers and entertainers, Marnaud’s evolution reflects what happens when creativity is allowed to move across disciplines, stages and borders.

The conversation becomes culture. The culture becomes sound.

DJ Marnaud apporte bien plus qu’un set à Art Fusion Night Rwanda. Il apporte un parcours créatif façonné par le son, la performance et la culture.

De ses premiers liens avec la musique et la danse traditionnelle rwandaise à son évolution parmi les personnalités, producteurs et artistes les plus reconnaissables du Rwanda, le parcours de Marnaud illustre ce qui devient possible lorsque la créativité voyage entre les disciplines, les scènes et les frontières.

La conversation devient culture. La culture devient son.

Cboy brings a journey shaped by culture, movement and sound to Art Fusion Night Rwanda.

From Southern Africa to Dubai, his sound has travelled across cultures, blending global influences while creating one thing that translates everywhere - connection through music.

From Dubai to Kigali, he brings that perspective into the conversation before taking us to sound behind the decks.

Different cultures. One room. One energy.

Cboy apporte à Art Fusion Night Rwanda un parcours façonné par la culture, le mouvement et le son.

De l’Afrique australe à Dubaï, son univers musical a voyagé à travers les cultures, mêlant des influences du monde entier tout en créant quelque chose qui parle à tous—la connexion par la musique.

De Dubaï à Kigali, il apporte cette perspective à la conversation avant de laisser place au son derrière les platines.

Différentes cultures. Un même espace. Une même énergie.
