The Nyumbani Book Club – “to be home” in Kiswahili – is an association for scientific and cultural mediation which develops artistic projects dedicated to the joining of the social sciences and the arts, from and about Africas as well as their diasporas. Its events broach political, feminist and migrant perspectives. The chosen theme for the 2024 season is exile.
For this new session, we’re heading for Senegal. On the programme is the book Cendres et Braises (Éditions Anamosa, 2019) by the brilliant Senegalese author Ken Bugul. This will be an opportunity to discuss the status of women, intersectionality, clothing and exile, the themes at the heart of this season’s bookclub on exile.
The club is open to everyone, whether you’ve finished the book or not.
Come and share your ideas in a warm and stimulating atmosphere at Bétonsalon.
