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. |
