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.

After embarking for Senegal and Somalia on our last meetings, we are leaving the continent to drop off our luggage in Haiti. On the agenda, a discussion around the book Le Testament des solitudes by Haitian author Emmelie Prophète. It will be an opportunity to discuss Haiti’s history, the American dream, genealogy and the memory of women.

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.
