The Kla Lit Writes Festival-second edition, 2025

 It was my distinct pleasure to host the opening reception of the second edition of the Kampala Writes Lit Fest. The evening reception was held at the British High Commissioner's residence, on 14 August.

This awesome evening was lit with curators, artists of such magnificent talent, arts managers, writers of unspeakably gifted creativity, publishers and our very own book sellers, Tubaze Books.

    

Curated by Goretti Kyomuhendo, and sponsored by African Writers Trust, British Council Uganda, German Cultural Center and Makerere University, this second edition is so lit.

    

       

You should have seen our BN Poetry Award winner Rashida Namulondo, with her spoken word mastery on the mic and MC female rapper, Tushi Nabakyala. What a night! Meeting Dr. Jennifer Makumbi again, and award-winning poets Nii- Parkes and Dr Nick Makoha.

This festival is free of charge. You want to be amongst those that say they attended.

       

Dash over to the Yusuf Lule Auditorium at Makerere University for a feast of the very best in literature. It ends on Sunday ,17 August.

I am satiated with literary bliss.
