Organised by @BookBuzzNG. Ake Festival 2017, 14-18 Nov. Lit, art, theatre, film, dance, poetry, bookchats, panels. Promoting & celebrating African creativity. The event takes place in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Yesterday, it began with a Sci-Fi writing workshop with the most popular Nigerian Science Fiction writer of this time, Nnedi Okorafor. She engaged the participants in talks and some key things she mentioned was that the urge to write should be far greater than the urge to publish, she also advised the participants to not look at how the whole story will finish, ‘take it a page at a time’ she said.
There was also a film show and they saw ‘Stand down soldier’ by Jerry Prescott Sales.
The festival continues, stay with us to stay informed.
