Read My World
Read My World Festival is an international literature festival that focuses on promoting diversity and exploring written and spoken words from all over the world, creating spaces of encounter for writers and storytellers, readers and listeners, publishers and translators. The festival typically features a variety of events, including author readings, panel discussions, performances, and workshops. Taking place every year in the stunning city of Amsterdam, Netherlands, the festival seeks to highlight literature from non-Western countries and cultures, creating an inclusive space for dialogue and exchange between different literary traditions.
In 2023, BBF Director Lola Shoneyin, was invited to be the guest curator for the 2023 edition of Read My World Festival with the support of Tobechukwu Anyachebelu and Ayomide Oshunluyi.
