NGABO wa Ganza (born Emmanuel NGABO) is a sculptor, filmmaker, actor, and field sound recordist based in Kigali, Rwanda.

He is knonw for FISH BOWL (2019, Director).

He works in media such as plaster-coated paper mâché. His sculptures are inspired by cultures and the wonderful works they have produced, such as Greek, West African sculptures, Romanesque, and Gothic art, as well as local artists who bring their personal experiences and worldviews to their artworks.

He wrote and directed his first short film, FISH BOWL, which premiered at the Locarno Film Festival in 2020 and went on to play at festivals such as the Uppsala Short Film Festival and the New Cinema Festival, among others.

He has also worked as a sound recordist and boom operator on various film productions, both indie and well-funded film productions, since 2017.
