The Doek Literary festival returns to Namibia

The Doek Literary Festival, a biennial celebration of literature, returns to Namibia from the 21st until the 24th of August. This year’s festival, themed “Independence – Freedom through Reading and Writing,” aims to enrich the country’s literary culture by providing a vibrant space for Namibian and African writers, poets, and visual artists. With their published works forming the creative framework for discussion, the eclectic collection of writers, poets, and visual artists curated in this year’s festival lineup will explore the delights, dangers, past dreams, present conditions, and future challenges of storytelling in the country, Africa, and the world.
