ktravula – a travelogue!

Saturday: Bookjam at Silverbird

I attended the Bookjam at Silverbird event yesterday for the first time since it started. This was the sixth edition. In attendance was American based Nigerian author Unoma Azuah, author of Sky High Flames, Madeleine Thien author of Certainty, Helon Habila, Caine Prize-winning author of Measuring Time, and Tsitsi Dangarembga author of Nervous Conditions.

Here are some of the shots from there. The programme afforded me time to catch up with old friends and meet new ones too. Certainly a refreshing time.

Bookjam is an event that takes place at the Silverbird Lifestyle Bookstore every last Saturday of every month.
