Christian Ntizimira: Palliative Care Through Art Series

Christian Ntizimira, Executive Director of ACREOL, shared on LinkedIn:

“PALLIATIVE CARE THROUGH ART SERIES: S1

‘Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.’ – Edgar Degas. Let’s talk about an unconventional but potent way of relieving suffering—through Rwandan arts.

Tanguy believes that art is a profound form of palliative care. Through his vibrant strokes, he offers solace to those grappling with life’s most challenging moments. His work provides a visual sanctuary where patients and their families can escape, reflect, and ultimately heal.

His work is not just art; it is therapy, an unspoken conversation that provides comfort at a level words often fail to reach.

So, here’s a thought: Can we integrate art into palliative care? Can we replace the sterile whites of hospitals with the warm hues of a painting? Tanguy Tangishaka believes we can. What about you?

Let’s start a conversation. Share your thoughts and experiences, and let’s paint a new picture of palliative care together.’ ”
