Meeting Our Griots March Study Group: The Mundane and the Marvelous
"Re-enchanting reality through magic realism and surrealism" is a series of monthly gatherings within our Meeting Our Griots study group that explores the dreamworld, the strange, the imaginary and the fantastical in African literature. Through wordplay, collective readings and speculative conversations, we will enter the Dreaming and discover reimagined realities that are both ordinary and extraordinary, and that challenge reality and the realms of possibilities.
