ABOUT THE EVENT

Threads of Two Nations was a celebration of Rwandan and Pakistani textile traditions — from the geometric precision of Imigongo-inspired patterns to the intricate paisley and embroidery of the subcontinent.

Hosted by H.E. Ambassador Naeem Ullah Khan, High Commissioner of Pakistan to Rwanda, the event drew ambassadors and diplomats from several nations, members of the Pakistani community in Rwanda, and artisans, designers and cultural leaders from across Rwanda and Pakistan. Across two days at the Embassy of Pakistan in Kigali, this community came together for exhibitions of handcrafted textiles and heritage installations. A couture runway closed the event, weaving both identities into a single story.

Presented by HK Agency in collaboration with the Embassy of Pakistan, with creative support from Eagle Art Rwanda.
