Shout to our audience! You are amazing. Therefore, this year, the African Book Festival will be about YOU!
We are pleased to announce that this year’s programme will be curated by our audience. A unique feature of the African Book Festival is the development of new formats that are unparalleled in the field of literature. A remarkably large proportion of our audience consists of young readers. Through open calls, voting, and the possibility of suggesting topics and guests, for example, we encourage active participation even before the actual festival weekend.
The aim is to convey and present literature in an accessible, experiential and participatory way. We establish a unique contact between authors and their readership. InterKontinental´s programming team will work closely with the festival’s creative advisory board, particularly on the selection of themes and guests and the creation of the programme.
This May, the African Book Festival will celebrate readers and community and involve our awesome audience like never before. Follow @abfberlin on Instagram if you don’t want to miss any news.
