Quramo Publishing has announced the theme for the third edition of the Quramo Festival of Words, QFest 2021, which will be taking place on the 1st-3rd October, 2021. This year’s festival is themed, “Transcendence: Words Defying.” The festival’s theme will be explored through poetry, book chats, panel discussions, film, and more
According to the organizers, this year’s festival will “unravel how storytellers and creatives around the world have modified words—for enlightenment and restoration, and as an effective tool in the fight for social justice and equality.”
Executive Publisher at Quramo Publishing and convener of QFest 2021, Gbemi Shasore, said, “This year’s theme, ‘Transcendence: Words Defying,’ is apt, as it captures the struggles of creatives who, though amongst the worst hit and the most stifled during and after a pandemic, are constantly seeking meaning and restoration through all the traditional and alternative modes of creative expression that words allow.”
Guest writers who will be attending this year’s festival include Professor Ahmed Yerima, Dike Chukwumerije, Karen Jennings, Abubakar Adam Ibrahim, Oyinkan Braithwaite, Femi Odugbemi, and many more. As it has always been the tradition, the winner of the 2021 Quramo Writers’ Prize will be unveiled at the festival.
