In 2009, the Kigali Institute for Science and Technology in Kigali, Rwanda began the first architecture program in the nation's history. In 2011, as part of a theory seminar, visiting professor Yutaka Sho had students create poems and photographic studies of their country, using the George Ella Lyon poem "Where I am From" as an inspiration.

In this series, Flavia Gwiza, Apiane Ndorimana, Emmanuel Nyirinkindi, Justin Twizere and Brian Cyogere tell us where they are from, their journey's through architecture in africa and its resultant influence.
