ABOUT THE TOTTENHAM LITERATURE FESTIVAL

The Bernie Grant Arts Centre’s Tottenham Literature Festival, a bold festival of words, returns from Monday 14 December to Saturday 19 December.

This year’s festival focuses on the theme of ‘Connectedness’. Against the backdrop of social isolation, the devastation of COVID-19 and the rallying cry that Black Lives Matter, Tottenham Literature Festival arrives a week before Christmas to encourage community and a joyful celebration of Black narratives and stories. The festival brings together award-winning authors and incredible artists from Tottenham and beyond including Ify Adenuga, Derek Owusu, Maaza Mengiste, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Stella Dadzie, Jay Bernard, David Lammy, Gary Younge, Jessica Horn and Zukiswa Wanner.

With a packed blended programme of virtual storytelling, workshops, conversations and outdoor screenings Tottenham Literature Festival continues to celebrate the word and storytelling in all its glorious forms.
