In partnership with the KGL Foundation and the Poetry Association of Ghana, the festival will bring together 10 poets from across the continent to showcase their works and engage with audiences from all over the world.
The festival is scheduled to take place from 25 to 28 May at the Art Africa Gallery, British Council, and the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana.
It is a week-long celebration of African literature, culture, and diversity, featuring an exciting lineup of events such as poetry readings, book launches, panel discussions, workshops, and performances by both renowned and budding African poets.
Discussing important issues
Founder of Tuniq Africa, Emma Ofosua, explains that the festival provides an opportunity to open up dialogues on important issues while rewriting the African narrative that women aspire to.
