In Ibadan... Conversations on literature, life, and the arts










"Artmosphere, your favourite platform for the promotion of creative expressions in literature, music and the arts in Nigeria has been waxing stronger since its inception. The monthly event is organized by WriteHouse Collective, a creative enterprise, culture and arts firm with the support of Ibridge Hub, a collaborative space for people with great ideas to meet, learn and work and a growing league of literary and culture enthusiasts across South-West Nigeria.

In this Book-culture and Lifestyle edition, we consider literature as a vehicle for Conversations. Conversations are meant to stir questions, to challenge preconceived cultures and to create new and civil nuances. The March edition of Artmosphere is tagged Conversations. 

Conversations will play host a crème of writers, Victor Ehikamenor, visual artist, creative communicator and author of Excuse Me, Emmanuel Iduma, literary and technology radical and author of Farad, Emmanuel Uweru Okoh, author of celebrated debut poetry collection, Gardens and Caves, and Kayode Taiwo Olla, author of debut novel, Sprouting Again. 

What does fiction, fictiveness and literature hope to achieve in the social, political and cultural landscape of a nation? This will be the crux of our discourse in this edition. There will also be Poetry, Spoken Word and Music presentations from a longlist of emerging voices.

The March edition of Artmosphere tagged “Conversations” holds on Saturday, March 16, 2013. Venue: NuStreams Conference and Culture Centre, KM 110 Abeokuta road, off Alalubosa G.R.A., Ibadan.
TIME: 3pm to 6pm."
