Those who delight in the written word are in for a treat when the Durban International Book Fair (DIBF2022) convenes at Sibaya Casino from Monday, 01 to Friday, 05 August 2022 and Pick n Pay Durban North from 6 to 7 August 2022.
The week-long book fair has been themed “Unlocked & Unleased” and pays tribute to the storytellers keeping the word alive with a special focus on women in literature, the promotion of indigenous languages and academic publishing.
More than 125 writers from all over the country will be in attendance. DIBF2022 will be a bookworm’s paradise with more than 25 new book launches and plenty of new literature to consume.
#DIBF2022 is hosted by the Durban Book Fair which is a non-profit organisation established as a civil society initiative in support of Africa's only UNESCO city of literature. It was launched in July 2018 to commemorate the birth anniversary of Nobel Laureate, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela and to promote reading especially among children. The Durban Book Fair has since convened monthly book fairs at Mitchell Park, Durban townships and online. No fewer that 300 local authors have used the Durban Book Fair platform to launch or promote their books.
Anivesh Singh, Co-Founder of the Durban Book Fair, “We have a jam-packed programme during which people will be able to meet renowned authors such as Joanne Joseph, Niq Mhlongo Cheryl Roberts and Hamish Kyd. If you don’t already know these people, or are a fan, come and meet them face-to-face.”
Visitors can look forward to engaging with fellow readers, creatives, authors, academicians, literacy NGOs, language promoters, and publishers against the backdrop of green hills and the Indian Ocean.
There is no cost to attend the event. If you require further information, email admin@durbanbookfair.co.za or visit www.madeindurban.co.za to download the latest programme. Schools are encouraged to bring their learners and book club members to the fair.
