BAFUMBIRA MUSEUM: We are building the first and biggest museum for Bafumbira People and their land, Kisoro. Let’s build our heritage together!
Physical sites
Do you have those places or sites or physical spaces in your village or community that bring memories to you and your children? I mean, there where you used to play from, that water well where you fetched water, the stone you used to sit on, that special place where you harvested mushrooms, or that old church where you played? Let’s document them!
People, including you!
Kisoro has men and women who are our heroes, in our own ways. You too are a hero! We want to document our lives so our life-stories are a forever inspiration to all generations. You know someone? How about yourself? Put down the Biography or Autobiography!
Physical items
Over centuries, we have had so many tools and physical items of importance: Umuheto, Umwambi, Urutsyo, Ingasire, Imbehe, Isekuro, Urutyazo, Ingasire, Ikyirago, Umukeka, Urutare, Ikigara, Umusekuzo, Ibihumyo, Ibicyabire, etc. Let us document them!
African folklore/stories
In Bafumbira Culture, there are thousands of stories and folks: Imigani (for example, umugani gwa Bakame n’impyisi), Uturirimbo twa’baana, imigani yimigenurano (proverbs), historical tales, for example, imigani ifashe ku abami cyangwa se yigisha (moral and ethics-related stories).
