Ake Festival lights up Lagos in October
The sixth edition of Ake Arts and Book
Festival will take place for the first time in Lagos from October 24 to
27, 2018. This would mark a shift away from its traditional grounds of
Abeokuta, Ogun state where the past five editions held.
The theme for this year is Fantastical Futures.
Events and conversations at the festival will focus largely on a re-imagined
African future.
Ake Arts and Book Festival is a five-day
cultural immersion. As is always the case, Ake Arts and Book Festival aims to
showcase the very best of contemporary African literature, poetry, music, art,
film and theatre.
Ake Festival 2018 will feature book chats,
art exhibition, a stage play, an in-depth interview, school visits, stimulating
panel discussions, film and documentary screenings, a musical concert and a
night of poetry performance.
Book-lovers and visitors are guaranteed to be
thrilled by a range of affordable books at the festival's Bookstore.
