Join us for an afternoon of books and inspiration as Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, Sulaiman Addonia and Peter Kimani share and reflect on their favourite African literature titles, ranging from classic texts through to new writing. This year’s edition of our popular panel will address books that have stirred and critiqued notions of masculinity, which all play a part in the work of these writers. Come discover and be inspired!
