About Ake Arts & Book Festival
Now in its thirteenth year, Aké Arts & Book Festival has brought together over 1,000 writers, poets, musicians, actors, filmmakers, artists and thinkers to celebrate creativity, network and share stories. This year, the festival returns to Lagos with a fantastic programme of events including panel discussions, book chats, poetry and music. Join us for three days of cultural immersion!
Aké Arts Book Festival is organised by Book Buzz Foundation, a non-governmental organisation founded 2012. The Board of Trustees includes Lola Shoneyin, Ms Mojisola Adeniran and Dr Soji Adelaja. The main aims of the Book Buzz Foundation are to promote literacy, especially amongst children of school-going age; to develop reading tools and resources to support schools in the creation of reading spaces; and to organise events and festivals that promote literacy, reading and Culture.
