In May,
FIAF launches World
Nomads, a series that examines the cross-cultural
exchange of ideas, artistic expression, and style. This transcultural
journey begins in contemporary Africa bringing artists together
for engaging programs considering Africa's cultural impact
on France and the rest of the world.
Does storytelling beget storytellers?
Does hearing fables as children make us want to create our
own as adults? Awardwinning children’s book author
Pam Muñoz Ryan (U.S.) and bestselling novelist Fatou
Diome (Senegal) share their thoughts on what shapes writers.
From remote corners of the globe, both have traced their
literary inspiration to the same source: the stories their
grandmothers told them as young girls. Between oral tradition
and the written word, folklore and literature, two writers
come together to unearth the dynamics of creativity. |
