Experience Crater Literary Festival 2022
Crater Library & Publisher is organising the 6h edition of Crater Literary Festival which is scheduled to hold from 15th December – 17th December 2022.
Crater Literary Festival is an annual festival which celebrates and promotes literature and budding literary creators with reference to south-eastern Nigeria. The objective of the festival is to promote budding literary creators and provide a platform where they can connect with successful creators globally.
The theme of this year’s festival is ‘Creative Legacies’ and will feature an impressive line-up of on-site and online activities. The festival will open with an onsite exclusive event called 'Creative Huddle' which will feature human library, open board discourse, and networking sessions. CraterLitFest Creative Huddle will be held at Alliance Francaise in Enugu — a city rich in creativity and literary history. The second day will feature accomplished storytellers for our book chat, poetry reading and online panel sessions with topics designed to provide in-depth perspectives and considerations on structures that ensure the sustainability of legacies in the creative and literary industry. The festival finale will feature a virtual exhibition of digital arts by Ogechi Gabriel, and pictures from the photograph collection of the renowned artist, Okpu Eze (1934-1995)
