Africanfuturism meets magical realism meets sci-fi: Three award-winning authors whose narrative style deviates from the realist tradition explain why their fantastical approach to narrative is more effective and more reflective of the complex realities we live in. They also explain why all the »isms« used to describe their work so far are right, but also wrong.
With Okwiri Oduor, Nnedi Okorafor, Novuyo Rosa Tshuma
Moderated by Alexandra Antwi-Boasiako
The event will be held in English.
