About ConKigali
Inema Art Center & Kampcon Fandom Foundation have teamed up for a common goal to host the Worldcon in Africa and in a city accessible to everyone.
Inema Art Center is one of the leading galleries in Kigali Rwanda which has worked so much to empower creatives in Africa and a top attraction in Kigali. Kampcon Fandom
Foundation is a non-profit of Scifi, fantasy and comic creatives working together with the aim to promote Africa’s creative content beyond the continent.
