The African Book Festival Berlin, one of the most important events promoting African literature and culture in Germany, is pleased to announce the establishment of a new board. 2025 marks a special milestone for the festival as it enters the next phase of its development with the establishment of the board.

The newly formed board consists of five dedicated individuals who will jointly contribute their professional expertise and passion for literature to the organisation and further development of the festival.

The board aims to strengthen the strategic direction of the festival, promote the diversity and representation of African voices in Germany and enrich the development of the programme. It advises the festival director and the annually changing curator.
