"I am first and foremost a writer," said Bandele, a prodigious talent who made his mark as a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, photographer and director.
@MolaraWood writes about the passing of Biyi Bandele for the BBC. A sad, untimely loss. #AfricaLit

@Abbakar_himself @VTadjo @ngBritish @Abdulfagge Indeed. It was a magical, magical book. Very slim, but each chapter was like kilishi in the mouth, you savour and chew and savour. Emphasizes why translation is so important. Francophone. Lusophone too. All are #AfricaLit
RT: As a pan-African arts collective that's done extensive work in #AfricaLit and language(s), Jalada fully supports the maiden African Language Week being organized by the African Academy of Languages.
Date: 24th to 31st January, 2022.

Really thorough list on #AfricaLit in China from the go-to blog @AfroLit4. It seems we've done pretty well & with Gurnah's Nobel win, 2022 is likely to be an even better year for literary translations. The blog is curated by the translator, @bruce_humes.

❤️The panel, "Language and Social media: Can the Internet Save Dying Languages?", will stream tomorrow morning at 9:45 a.m. EAT (East African Time), followed by closing remarks from our Managing Editor, @richardalijos.
We appreciate all the support #AfricaLit has granted us!🙏
In this Symposium, I've worked closely with the curators @MosesKilolo & @mawazo_mengi to create 10 sessions around #Ngugi and #Soyinka that pay homage, emphasize the enduring relevance of Language to #AfricaLit, and also demonstrate the necessity of collectives like @JaladaAfrica
We're pleased with the attention our Language and Translations Symposium centred around Profs. Wole #Soyinka and #Ngugi wa Thiongo is gaining😃. It confirms the abiding centrality of these issues in #AfricaLit.

Aren't you curious to know who'll be on the Jalada Language & Translations Symposium panels alongside #Ngugi & #Soyinka? We're itching to tell you... tomorrow morning! Most are from #AfricaLit, some are from farther away... each a fully committed thinker. https://t.co/WqTRE0Pgmp
It's literary and arts festival season and my first outing for the year is at the Hausa International Book and Arts Festival holding in #Kaduna My first panel, already prerecorded, is on the abiku-esque Language issue in #AfricaLit on the 20th.
Thanks @celvoz and what a wonderful felicitations party organised by @brittlepaper . Exciting times for #AfricaLit and more.

Just ended a 2-day conversation with a French-speaking comrade entirely with the aid of @Google Translate & it was seamless. I had no idea! :-D Watch out, #AfricaLit, the barriers of Anglo-phone, Luso-phone, Arabo-phone & all the other-phones are about to be crashed @JaladaAfrica
@hausabaf @JaladaAfrica @OpenArts_ Pleasure sitting with you guys (& the lady behind the camera) to talk about your powerful festival premise. Looking forward to moving the conversation forward, and working with you! Collaboration is the logical step to get -#AfricaLit where it should be. Keep blazing @OpenArts_ !
Another pretty interesting new magazine is @OpenCountryMag . Follow them and check them out. They've got some real good #AfricaLit stuff. Oya, no time for more shalaye.

American literary translator @bruce_humes notes a 63% increase in #AfricaLit Chinese translations since 2018. Chimamanda and Mabanckou lead, but also @NOIweala & @OyinBraithwaite. Cc @farafinabooks @CassavaRepublic @Parresiabooks @HuzaPress @writersPG
