The African Women Writers Symposium celebrates its 10th! - Newtown
The 10th African Women Writers’ Symposium (AWWS) takes place on 20 October and 26 October, in Soweto and Newtown (Johannesburg) respectively. This two-day programme, which we trust will inspire hope in these dark days in the world, includes workshops, talks, debates, and discussion on literature in our troubled world.
The Symposium kicks off on Sunday 20th October at the Soweto Theatre with the Nadine Gordimer In Memoriam Lecture presented by Professor Carolyn Cooper from Jamaica. The theme of her address is All My Weapons Within Me: Literature and Popular Culture as Sites of Female Empowerment in Jamaica. It will also explore the phenomenal impact of Caribbean music and culture on the world stage.
