Here is Pascaline with her sister Beatrice. We have known their family since the very beginning of Talking Through Art and have visited them many times over the years.

Beatrice uses a wheelchair, and we wanted to support someone from her family in accessing a good education, opening up more opportunities for the future. With a good education, Pascaline will have a better chance of finding employment or even starting her own business one day.

Pascaline is supported by a wonderful group of friends in the Czech Republic, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.

At Talking Through Art, we support children whose parents have disabilities or who have a family member with a disability. We believe that disability should never be a barrier to education, opportunity, or a better future.

We are so proud of Pascaline and the good student she is becoming! She has two more years of studies ahead of her, and we look forward to seeing where her journey takes her.

Together, we can create opportunities, change lives, and build a future where everyone has a chance to thrive.

Our last meeting at Talking Through Art was full of gratitude, understanding, love, and sharing ideas about how we can continue improving TTA.

We are so grateful that we can sit together, listen to each other, discuss openly, and share our thoughts and ideas.

Talking Through Art is not only about weaving and creating beautiful things. It is about people, respect, support, understanding, and being there for one another.

Every voice matters, every idea is valuable, and together we can make TTA an even better and safer place for everyone.

We are grateful for our TTA family.

What a lovely cooking class we had at Talking Through Art!

Six wonderful ladies from Nigeria joined us and learnt how to prepare Mizuzu (fried sweet banana), beef and vegetables, guided by our lovely Emeliane.

After cooking together, we sat down and shared the meal — and more than just food, we shared stories, laughter and a beautiful connection.

At TTA, we offer two different cooking classes:
🍌 Mizuzu
🌶️ Chilli chutney

Book a cooking class with us, share lunch with our TTA family, get to know us and experience a little piece of our everyday life. ❤️

Come as a visitor, leave as part of the family!

What a busy, beautiful day we had at Talking Through Art yesterday!

Our friend Jenny joined us for our Cultural Walking Tour, guided by our wonderful Omar. She discovered the Talking Through Art neighbourhood, shared lunch with us, and even joined a weaving class with Vanessa as her teacher.

At the same time, we welcomed a lovely group of six ladies from Nigeria, who came to celebrate one of their friends’ 50th birthday! They took part in our cooking class with Emeliane, who guided them through preparing a delicious Rwandan meal of mizuzu (fried sweet bananas), beef and vegetables.

It was a day full of food, laughter, culture, creativity and connection.

We absolutely love our cooking classes, weaving classes and cultural walking tours — the best way to experience Rwanda, meet local people and learn about our culture directly from the community.

Come and spend a day with us at TTA. We would love to welcome you

Yesterday was a very special day for us at Talking Through Art. ❤️

We are so grateful to have been invited to Ntare Louisenlund School, where Petr and Emeliane had the opportunity to speak with the students about our recent trip to the Czech Republic. 🇨🇿🇷🇼

The students had generously fundraised money to help us cover some of the expenses of the trip, and yesterday we had the chance to personally thank them and share our experiences.

Emeliane spoke about her journey and her time in the Czech Republic — her first time travelling outside Rwanda — and shared some of the special experiences and memories she brought back with her. ❤️

Petr introduced the students to Talking Through Art and also talked about his home country, the Czech Republic, and the connection between Rwanda and TTA.

A huge thank you to Ntare Louisenlund School for the invitation, the incredible support and the warm welcome. 🙏

What an amazing school — full of super-smart, curious and inspiring young people! We are very happy to have met you and are excited about what we might create together in the future.

At Talking Through Art, we don’t only weave unique designs — we also sew super cool jackets, hats and accessories!

These amazing designs are created by Gitare.art and proudly sewn by the talented ladies of Talking Through Art using our new sewing machines, kindly donated to us. ❤️

And of course… we had to take the jackets out onto the streets and model them! 🔥

How cool are they?!

Come and visit us, try them on, find your favourite, and take one home with you. Every purchase supports the women of TTA and the work we do together.

🦋 A beautiful butterfly woven by our Vanessa! 🦋
Vanessa is incredibly fast at weaving, while always keeping the quality and attention to detail that make her work so special. We are so happy to have her as part of the TTA family. ❤️
At Talking Through Art, we look after each other. We want TTA to always be a safe, welcoming and supportive place for women — especially women with disabilities.

It looks simple on paper… but try weaving it into a basket!

This time, we took a simple design of Maria — a black silhouette on a white background — and challenged ourselves to turn it into a woven basket.

Easy, right? Well… not quite.

When Petr and Foster saw the result, they burst into laughter and simply couldn’t stop!

But we’re not giving up. We’ve already started making a new one, and this time we’re determined to get Maria right!

Sometimes the most difficult designs are the ones that look simple
