Nsabimana is a visual artist and storyteller who expresses interest in photography, film and video production, and design. As a visual artist, he believes one should be the voice for the voiceless, and so Nsabimana also understands himself as an activist, using his works as a tool to inspire political and social engagement. As a refugee and a person who comes from a disadvantaged background, he imagines a bright future; a future for himself and many like him. Nsabimana’s future means creating works that create awareness, transfer, and sharing of knowledge and skills.
