About IKAZE
Our mission
Why IKAZE exists — and what we stand for.
IKAZE — Kinyarwanda for "welcome" — was founded in 2019 to add a voice to Vienna's cultural landscape that is too often missing in Austria: that of Africa, with special ties to Rwanda.
We treat culture as encounter. Our events, education projects, and charity initiatives create rooms in which stories are shared — eye to eye, without folklore clichés, with real ambition.
Our values
Culture
Concerts, dance, film, literature — carefully curated, in Viennese venues and partner spaces.
Education
School partnerships and scholarships. Knowledge that flows both ways.
Encounter
Member nights, workshops, joint trips. We build what intercultural respect grows from.
Become part of IKAZE
Membership, sponsorship, or volunteering — there are several ways to support our work.
