#PaGya Literary Festival in Accra

This weekend the new literary festival PaGya (I believe the meaning is “To light a fire” in Akan) organized by Writers Project Ghana happened. Here are my impressions.

1. So many literature lovers and writers!

The first night I stumbled into the company of several of the international guests and stayed way longer than planned…

3. The lit-scene is coming alive in Ghana..

…or as Andy said it, it is lit!

Andy Aryeetey @AndyonAndy

A really lit literary festival happening in Accra, Ghana, dubbed #Pagya.

6 MONTHS AGO

I was totally impressed with the scale of this wholly new initiative: three full days, workshops, panels, readings, book fair, international guests and great conversation everywhere. Thank you dear organizers: Martin, Elizabeth, the entire Writers Project Ghana, you really did well! It was fire!
