Notes on contributors
Bruce Clarke
Bruce Clarke, visual artist and photographer, was born in London in 1959. His South African activist parents had recently left for political reasons. It was at the Fine Arts School at Leeds University in the 1980's that he was initiated to the Art and Language movement. His work engages with contemporary history, the writing and transmission of this history and hopes to stimulate thought on the contemporary world and its representations. He created of a memorial site near Kigali, the Garden of Memory, a monumental installation project on-going since 2000, in close collaboration with survivors’ families, civil society associations and the Rwandese institutions as well as UNESCO. Also in Rwanda he worked on a large-scale mural project for the 20th commemoration of the genocide entitled Upright Men (www.uprightmen.org) which was presented in Rwanda as well as in around 15 cities across Europe.
Alain Gauthier
Alain Gauthier is a retired school French teacher and principal. He worked in Rwanda from 1970 to 1972. In 2001, along with his spouse, Dafroza, who lost many of her family in the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda, he created CPCR, Collectif des Parties Civiles pour le Rwanda. This association's objective is to seek justice by pursuing those suspected of having participated in the genocide and who found asylum in France. The CPCR initiated the March 2014 legal action that charged and convicted Pascal Simbikangwa of “genocide and crimes against humanity.” This move was a call to action and the CPCR filed more than 25 charges that are currently under investigation.
