28.-30. June 2024
The African Book Festival Berlin 2024 was a blast!
InterKontinental e.V. has been organizing the African Book Festival in Berlin for 6 years. This year, the festival took place from June 28th to 30th as a Queer Edition, focusing on African and Afro-diasporic authors from the LGBTQI+ community and showcasing literature in which homosexuality and queerness in Africa play a role.
As part of a three-day festival program consisting of readings, discussions, music, poetry performances and interactive, modern event formats, the audience had the opportunity to experience stars and newcomers live and engage in conversation with them. The program is accompanied by a large outdoor market offering a variety of food, goods and, of course, plenty of books.
The African Book Festival offers its festival guests a brave space for their writing, experiences and perspectives. It addresses the persecution of homo-, bi-, trans- and intersex people as well as genderqueer people worldwide and raises awareness. At the same time, the festival presents writers who in their writing celebrate one thing above all: Love.
