AALFIE VII: FOR SUDAN
AALFIE, the literary festival organized and curated by writer Sulaiman Addonia, once again boasts an impressive line-up of writers and artists performing in Brussels from 15 to 17 Oktober, exploring the theme “Literature & Art as an Antidote to Tribalism”. The opening night is an artistic declaration of love to Sudan, a country still not getting the attention it should. On Friday and Saturday the festival continues at Den Teirlinck in Ixelles with panels, performances, keynotes, one-person plays, read-a-thons, dance and music.

What can art hold, preserve and create in a moment such as this? With Abdelaziz Baraka Sakin, Yassmin Abdel-Magied, both former Passa Porta writers in residence, In Koli Jean Bofane, Abir Ibrahim, Shira Wolfe and the participants of the Creative Writing Academy for Refugees & Asylum Seekers, it promises to be a memorable evening.
For Sudan, for its people, its languages, its stories, its art, its memory, itsextraordinary imagination.
