Poetry Africa Festival announces dates, theme and tour

The theme for the 26th Poetry Africa International Festival is: ‘Poetic (In)Justice: Voices That Breathe, Move and Transform’, and the festival is an ode to the depth of perspective that poetry affords us in seeing and articulating (in)justice.

On October 6, the festival will present What’s a Woman’s Worth?, featuring Philippa Yaa De Villiers, Lebo Mashile, Roche Kester, Vangile Gantsho, Nomashenge and Belita Andre. It is a first-of-its-kind focus on women-by-women performance and a cross-generational probing into the vast spectrum of degradation to the celebration that determines the worth of a woman.
