Anne Moraa and Novuyo Rosa Tshuma
Conversations with African writers Anne Moraa (Kenya) and Novuyo Rosa Tshuma (Zimbabwe).
The
Literary Crossroads Series brings together African writers on the continent and from the diaspora to discuss contemporary trends and themes in literature. In our June 2019 session, we host two great African authors – Anne Moraa (Kenya) and Novuyo Rosa Tshuma (Zimbabwe). Both wordsmiths shall engage us in an evening of prose and poetry.
Anne Moraa is a writer, editor and creative. After completing an undergraduate degree from the University of Nottingham, she completed her Master's degree in Creative Writing from the University of Edinburgh. Her works focus on feminism, ‘otherness’ and the importance of voice. Her published pieces can be read in Jalada, KikeTele, Brainstorm among other publications, and her performances have taken her from South Korea (as part of Exhibit B) to Edinburgh (with the Loud Poets at the Fringe Festival) and in Nairobi (StoryMoja Hay Festival, Festival CulturElles) where she currently lives and works.

House of Stone, winner of the 2019
