The Sankofa Initiative invites you to the May edition of her
Arts and Culture Exchange program coming up on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at the
Practical Theatre, Department of Theatre Arts, University of Ibadan, Ibadan.
Su’eddie Vershima Agema, joint-winner of the 2014 Association of Nigerian
Author’s Prize for Poetry and author of the collection of short stories, The
Bottom of Another Tale and Bash S. Amuneni, author of the new poetry
collection, There is a Lunatic in Every Town will be our special guests.
The event will commence at 2pm with readings and
performances as our guests share from their body of creative works. This will
be followed by an interactive session centred on the backstories behind their
works as well as their knowledge of the creative process with an intent to
contribute to the development of young writers and emerging culture
practitioners. There will also be a book signing session and books will be
available for sale at the book stand.
Curated by the Sankofa Initiative for Culture and
Development, Arts and Culture Exchange is a platform for the revival of a
vibrant reading culture, the promotion of creative expressions in the arts and
deepening civic engagement amongst the nation’s youths. Incorporating the
ideals of artistic erudition with the innovations of performance practice and
contemporary culture, Arts and Culture Exchange offers an eclectic mix of
creative dexterity from leading and emerging culture practitioners and thought
leaders in Nigeria. Book readings, poetry performances, music renditions,
drama, art exhibitions, panel discussions and workshops are creatively fused
together to make each edition a memory to be relished.
