Cultural association in Vienna · since 2019
Ikaze means welcome.
Concerts, dance, film, celebrations — Rwandan and African culture in Vienna. Guests are welcome. Come often enough and you become a member.
Ikaze is Kinyarwanda for welcome. Since 3 October 2019 a cultural association in Vienna has carried the name too — Rwandan in its roots, open to everyone who joins.
We put on concerts, dance nights and film evenings in Vienna, we run workshops, and for 2027 we are planning a group journey to Rwanda. Behind all of it sits the same idea: people who would otherwise never meet spend an evening together.
“No one lights a lamp to hide it. Talent is given to shine — and to light the way for others.”
More than an event: a programme.
Leadership workshops, the Talent & Culture Gala, an ambassador phase through summer 2027 — AfriVision is IKAZE's flagship programme for 2026. For young women of African heritage who want to shape their community.

What an evening actually costs.
A room, sound and light, getting the word out — an evening in Vienna costs more than membership fees carry. Our funders are the difference between a plan and an actual event. Three tiers — or we sit down and design something else.
