A couple of our favourite finds from last week’s @hayfestival bookshop!

Looking for book recommendations? Here is what we are #CurrentlyReading at AiW! Featuring a celebration of @modjajibooks’s 15 years by uncovering some Modjaji gems that our very own Katie Reid bought at the Cape Town Book Fair in 2010!

We talked to @ayo_oyeku, writer and founder of @eleventhhousepublishing for his Words on the Times and a wonderful 'Things that matter' reading list. Link in our bio!

Back in January, our very own Joanna Woods (@woodsjoanna) was in Johannesburg and happened to see this beauty at the @witsartmuseum_wam. The Keiskamma Art Project is a tapestry and project close to our hearts, having worked closely with the @keiskammatrustsa back in 2020 to highlight their new ambitious ‘Tapestry of Resilience’ in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. You can read more about this series and Nicola Ashmore’s series on the Keiskamma Guernicas via the special link in our bio. For now, enjoy the gorgeous original Keiskamma tapestry on display at WAM.

We have a two-post special today! First, we bring you a review Q&A with @max_lobe1 about his novel A Long Way from Douala (@hoperoadpublishing). We talk translation, humour, Camfranglais, football, & missing home: “This world is dirty. So I wish to clean it with laughter."

Q&A on the blog: AiW's Davina Philomena talks with Kadija Sesay, scholar-activist ("emphasis on the activist!"), as her @Afripoetree branches out... Pan-Africanism, networks, 📚📚📚
