In the third and final part of our Rwanda series, we head into Rwanda's breathtaking countryside to discover a unique artist's residence, created by cultural changemaker Cedric Mizero. He takes Eve Jackson and the arts24 crew on a trek through a eucalyptus forest for an immersive open-air theatre experience in which 150 artists take part.

In the second part of arts24's Rwanda series, Eve Jackson meets a fashion designer taking the country's fashion scene to the next level. Once a model, now designer, Moses Turahirwa re-imagines traditional Rwandan forms and cultural motifs into contemporary pieces. His clients include the Ivorian footballer Didier Drogba, the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the Trinidadian actor Winston Duke or the Spanish actress Rossy de Palma. We meet him at the workshop of his brand Moshions to discuss Rwandan fashion, the importance of gender fluidity in his clothing and confronting taboos in his home country.

In 1994, ethnic tensions in Rwanda spiralled, resulting in the massacre of hundreds of thousands of Tutsis. Those harrowing events were relayed on television screens around the world and filmmakers grappled with the tragedy in the years to follow. On the anniversary of that genocide, film critic Lisa Nesselson looks back at some of the movie depictions of recent Rwandan history.

In this special programme from Kigali, Eve Jackson meets the artists rewriting Rwanda's future. Arts24 shows you just how much "the country of a thousand hills", with its population of 14 million, has transformed in the past 30 years since the genocide against the Tutsis.

In this edition of arts24, Jennifer Ben Brahim meets nine-time Grammy-nominated musician Anoushka Shankar. She's a masterful sitarist and film composer as well as an impassioned activist, and has worked with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Patti Smith and even the Dalai Lama. Her love of composing beautiful blends of classical Indian music with contemporary sounds stems from growing up in a musical household. Her father was sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar and her half-sister is Norah Jones. Anoushka is heading out on tour around Europe with the second instalment of her musical trilogy, "Chapter II: How Dark it is Before Dawn".

The award-winning author Lisa McInerney wraps up her literary trilogy with "The Rules of Revelation", a darkly comic foray into the world of drug dealers, sex workers, property developers and struggling artists. We discuss societal shifts in Ireland, as a new generation rejects the conservative, religious national identity that has characterised the country in the past, and the platform the arts provide for voices from all sectors of society, with key support from the current government. Lisa also weighs in on the growing popularity of Gaelic as a cornerstone of Ireland's linguistic and cultural heritage.

She emerged in the mid-90s as one half of Moloko, the duo she formed with then-boyfriend Mark Brydon, creating iconic dance hits like "Sing It Back" and "The Time Is Now". After 30 years of pop, Irish artist Róisín Murphy is touring with her sixth solo album "Hit Parade" – said to be her best yet. Eve Jackson caught up with her at the end of the European leg of the tour to reminisce about gigs in Paris, going clubbing and to talk about making her best music yet at age 50.

Karim Aïnouz’s latest film "Firebrand" zooms in on Henry VIII's final wife, Catherine Parr, with Alicia Vikander taking on the regal role. Critic Lisa Nesselson tells us why she enjoyed Law's interpretation of the English king. Also, French actor Grégory Gadebois embodies a priest dealing with his own problematic past in "Paternel" and we learn about the sorority to be found in the forests of Estonia thanks to the documentary "Smoke Sauna Sisterhood". Finally, Po returns with his martial arts moves in "Kung Fu Panda 4".

It's not every day you get given a fencing lesson by a rock legend whose career has spanned over four decades and who has sold hundreds of millions of albums. FRANCE 24's Marjorie Hache had the pleasure of crossing swords with heavy metal star Bruce Dickinson – the lead singer of Iron Maiden – to discuss his new solo album "The Mandrake Project".

This week on arts24 we welcome Tom McRae, an English Francophile who gained musical recognition in the early 2000s thanks to delicate songs like "You Cut Her Hair" or "End of the World News". He's just released his new album "Étrange Hiver", in which he sings many tracks in French and invites a number of French artists to collaborate with him. We also welcome Liverpool-based rising duo King Hannah, who are set to release their second album "Big Swimmer" at the end of May. Plus, we discuss the country music comeback of Beyoncé.
