Join us at the Feast
The Committee for Relevant Art (CORA) invites the public within and outside Nigeria, to the Tenth annual feast of the written word. For exhibitors from anywhere, this is a huge market. A hundred and forty million Africans inhabit some 960,000 sq km of space in Africa ’s most populous country.
Over 60% of this population are young people between the ages of 18 and 25. Lagos, where the event is holding, is home to 10 million souls.
Every year the Lagos Book and Art Festival plays host to a stream of visiting writers coming to take part in some of the most insightful conversation on literature, literacy and the book market in Africa.
This year won’t be different and if you are a writer, an intellectual, a student, a book enthusiast, and you want to participate in any of our programmes, please simply go o the registration page, do the needful and fax to us. We are as keen to have this party filled with Kenyans, Ivorian, Algerians and Mauritanians as we are interested in welcoming Sudanese, Egyptians, Zambians, Angolans and South Africans.
If you have a proposal to do anything that’s outside the template that we’ve put on the programme page of this brochure, please send it to me at jahblak@yahoo.com, or call me on 234-8022016495.
Lagos is an exciting place to be. You’re welcome to share the human energy that animates this city on the edge of the southern Atlantic .
