And so November, 2013 has come and gone, and along with it, the inaugural edition of the ambitious arts and literary festival that held at Abeokuta. The Ake Arts & Book Festival brought together writers, artists performers and arts professionals from all over the world for a few days of magic. I was there too, towards the end, with a Samsung NX300 in tow, and here are a few true photographs, and thoroughly fictional conversations, by way of memento.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To find out if there is any fire behind the smoke of the fiction, you probably have to put the Ake festival on your travel schedule for next November.

See you there…
