The photo exhibition at one of the #Writivism19 venues within the National Theatre. #Unbreakablebonds
They say joy comes in the morning but this is a disclaimer. I can't wait for the festival #UnBreakableBonds #writivism19 #EastAfricaArts
Here's what's up on the second day of our Festival.
Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi, @kinnareads & @ANMakubuya will be
dissecting what nationalism means in Africa today.
Got any ideas on what points might be brought up? Share !!!

Yeah, if you haven't heard of our newest Anthology, well, here's @SumayyaLee speaking about it.
#UnbreakableBonds has fiction, non-fiction and photography from Contributors all of the world !!! It truly showcases the power of bonds.
#EastAfricaArts #Writivism19
@SumayyaLee talks about Writivism, which entails Ugandan-based intiatives to promote writing. There's now an anthology called Unbreakable Bonds!

Saturdays are best used for reading.
Read @CarlTerver's review of @FrancesOgamba's stories on @praxismagonline.
He says that the writer invites readers into a vision that ends in a "literary orgasm."

There are very few people who can make prose poetic and Joshua Tyovenda on @praxismagonline describes Vuyelwa Maluleke's Shortlisted story as "poetic prose."
Read it & let us know if you feel the same way.

If you think audio books are cool, wait till you read @avatar_reso's "Maserumo."
This is what @CarlTerver expresses in his review of the Shortlisted story, on @praxismagonline

"Her African heart must have told her that if white people can suffer in their own country, she was in trouble."

Jennifer is reading again. From where she had stopped. Page 71.

@TrustAwt
There are some Ugandans who say Kintu, focus on the first two letters, as if they are non-Ugandan. As if they don't know that "Ki" in Luganda is pronounced "Chi". What is happening?
#UIWC19 #Writivism19 #UnBreakableBonds #EastAfricaArts
@TrustAwt
"The use of Ugandan English is my style, it is my voice. I paid a dear price for it in Kintu, and so I can't compromise now, on a second book. I paid good money to a British African editor to ensure that my style and voice remains."
- Jennifer Makumbi
#UIWC19 #Writivism19
The first questions to Jennifer from the audience are about Kintu, historical accuracy and what she is doing to help aspiring Ugandan writers. She says she supports and works with existing initiatives incl. us.
@TrustAwt
#UIWC19 #Writivism19 #UnBreakableBonds #EastAfricaArts
"Sometimes I come back and talk to my family and say we don't do this and they ask, what do you mean, we do. Then I realise that the Uganda I am coming back to is not the one I left."
- Jennifer Makumbi
#UIWC19 #EastAfricaArts #UnBreakableBonds #Writivism19
"My next novel is going to be scandalous, even more than Kintu and the stories in Manchester Happened."
(The First Woman, Jennifer's next novel is expected in 2020.)
#UIWC19 #UnBreakableBonds #Writivism19 #EastAfricaArts
You can get a copy of any Writivism anthology at the #UIWC19 at Fairway Hotel in Kampala.
