Isaac Bujirwa is a multidisciplinary visual artist and creative director from Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Over the past five years, he has developed a unique artistic practice that merges documentary photography and drawing, pushing the boundaries between reality and imagination.

His works, often monochromatic and exhibited internationally, explore profound themes inspired by the socio-political context of his region, such as collective memory, resilience, intercommunal conflict, and identity. His art serves as a powerful vessel for messages of hope and awareness, notably by highlighting the impact of interregional crises on the most vulnerable members of our communities, such as children and the plight of child soldiers. For Isaac, art is simultaneously a means of personal expression, therapy, and an essential tool for social impact.

Isaac is the founder of Nexus Afrik, a hybrid and innovative creative lab dedicated to African visual artists and engineers. Through Nexus Afrik, he develops bridges between visual art, engineering, and immersive technologies, nurturing new modes of creation on the continent.

He is also the Creative Director at WITO XR Studio (a pioneering XR studio in the DRC) and the editor of EKKA-XR, an immersive art fair who reimagines the distribution of contemporary African art by integrating extended reality (XR), interactive museography, and digital scenography, in collaboration with galleries across Africa and the diaspora.

A student in photojournalism and documentary at the VII Academy (France/Sarajevo), Isaac is deeply committed to social impact. He has long worked with exiled women and children displaced by conflicts in camps around the DRC and beyond, 

using art as a tool for resilience, empowerment, and reconstruction. His commitment and sensitive approach earned him the "Sport in Motion – Vatican 2025" International Photography Prize for his portrayal of human reconstruction in conflict zones.

Through conceptual notions of self and inner dialogues, he demonstrates the healing potential of creative expression, using his art to advocate for positive change within his community and beyond.
