Biography

Illustrator and visual storyteller Odile Uwera (b. 1996) lives and works in Kigali, Rwanda. She likes to experiment with different media. One of her biggest dreams is to become a filmmaker. In March 2022, she published a colouring book for adults and children about Rwanda called "NKUNDA IWACU" (I love our homeland). When she is not devoting herself to her own projects, such as her recent solo exhibition "untitled - a journal of uncertain times", she works as a freelance illustrator. Currently, she is engaged in comics. Having written and illustrated two illustrated graphic novels since 2021, she is looking forward to further developing this medium in her career.
