Abstract
In June 2010, I traveled to Kigali, Rwanda with a group of academics, community theatre professionals, performance artists, students, and genocide scholars from the U.S., Afghanistan, Mexico, Singapore, Belarus, Uganda, and Rwanda. While in Kigali we went to various genocide memorials and historical sites, toured a national prison, and spoke with political and academic experts from the region about such complex topics as the politics of witness and testimony, processes of reconciliation, (inter-)national recovery, and local (if any socio-political issue can be said to be limited thusly anymore) and transnational memory. The summer program hails such well-known alumna as Lynn Nottage, who on the same trip began writing her recent Pulitzer Prize-winning play Ruined, which explores the latent effects of sexual violence in the Congo.
