Let’s delve into the subject together.

We are nice people, we don’t bite.

We may leave bloodstains on pages 🧛🏿

But the story gets better.

Go on, register.

📢International (UK-based) poetry initiative call for African experiences of migration👇🏾
Forced Migration and The Arts work where forced migration & the arts meet; CivicLeicester are an indie publisher w. a range of sympathetic #anthologies ; & Regularise help offer safer paths to settlement.

New post remembering Maryse Condé 📚🙌🏾
as she is threaded thru our archives.

Thinking institutions & valuation - 'world', 'poco', 'international' lit - & who is defining what from where,
in 2 'couplets' - on SEGU (w. Kadija George) & 'Condé in Cape Town': africainwords.com/2024/04/25/arc…

All this 👇🏾

(bridging gaps - rigour and beauty in creative thinking...)

We are beginning to build the conference programme! The very first stream to be programmed is that chaired and put together by Dina Ligaga titled 'Re-engaging ‘Old Media’ Archives and Methods'. 4 innovative panels, which will run in the same room throughout the conference.

Are you an African writer?

Submit to either of these 3 open awards from WSA-Rwanda by July 1st for the chance to win prizes!

I founded Afapinen, a literary magazine to platform new voices in critical writing about visual art, literature, and music, in defining a new age.

It has been a good run so far. But I need your support to keep doing this great work.
