The Overbookées association, incubated at MansA Lab, is celebrating its 5th anniversary at MansA on Saturday, January 31.
Overbookées is a feminist and anti-racist literary platform founded by Déli. Whether through its eponymous Instagram account, book club, podcast, writing residency, or Read & Shine festival, Overbookées shines a light on the invisible stories of the African world and connects racialized authors, particularly those from the African diaspora, with their readers.
To mark Overbookées' fifth anniversary and the association's second anniversary, Overbookées is celebrating love! This anniversary evening will begin with a discussion on the theme of "love and us" with Christelle Murhula, Chiguecky Ndengila from Bissai, and Hadidja Shona, followed by a participatory game designed to encourage playful dialogue between participants.
This event is an opportunity for Overbookées to grow and launch its agency. Distinct from a literary agency, it is dedicated to promoting overlooked literature and narratives, as well as feminist and anti-racist knowledge. Through this activity, Overbookées is extending its commitment to publishers and authors in order to improve the circulation of narratives.
