The 3rd edition of Kampala Writes LitFest will centre storytelling as a shared language across creative expressions, where writers and artists are celebrated as the powerful narrators of our stories. The festival will further explore how narratives are shaped, shared, and re-imagined whilst honouring long-standing traditions and boldly embracing new genres and modes of expression.
The Kampala Writes LitFest is the premier literature festival in Uganda bringing together writers, artists, and cultural practitioners from Africa and beyond. Founded in 2024 by the Goethe-Zentrum Kampala, the festival offers an array of activities including book launches, masterclasses, and workshops.
