Age Guidance: All are welcome
Join Aimée Felone, Managing Director of Knights Of and chair of the Lewisham, Borough of Literature advisory group, as well as other group members for a lively discussion about plans for the UK’s first ever Borough of Literature. We’ll be inviting you, the audience, to share your ideas and feedback.
We’ll also be joined by four Lewisham writers: Tuktu Barbaros, Erica Hesketh, Fathima Zahra, and Amii Griffith who are creating new writing under the theme, ‘To All The Places I Have Read’. They’ll be reading their work, discussing their creative practice and what it means to be a writer in Lewisham. You’ll also be able to pick up a free copy of the Festival Anthology which features all four commissions.
