Panel discussion at Kampala Writes Lit Fest [Goethe-Zentrum Kampala]
The third edition of the Kampala Writes Lit Fest opens on August 28, today, and runs until August 30 at the Uganda National Cultural Centre (National Theatre) in Kampala. It features writers, poets, artists and thinkers under the theme 'Where Stories Begin: The Imaginary and the Art of Possibility'.
The festival, curated by writer and curator Goretti Kyomuhendo and organised by the Goethe-Institut and the Uganda German Cultural Society, explores storytelling as a collective language that crosses creative disciplines.
The programme examines how stories are shaped, shared and reimagined, while placing literary and artistic traditions in conversation with emerging genres and new forms of expression.
The theme invites audiences to think about the origins of storytelling, how new ideas are born and how imagination can be used to rethink history and envision alternative futures.
