In this article, I discuss the work carried out by the employees of the Murambi Memorial, a site commemorating Rwanda’s genocide, to highlight how their work-related responsibilities creates an opportunity for the memorial’s visitors to have an intelligible encounter with the seemingly incomprehensible presence of human remains. I introduce the concept of the Labour of Care, which provides a basis to think about how the work carried out by Murambi’s employees bestows upon the human remains their interpretable qualities. From this basis, I examine how this concept provides a means to think about human remains not simply as material objects, but rather, better understood as subject-come-objects. By doing so, visitors can move beyond idealized notions of redemption and think about humanity’s unsettling capacity for violence.
