An Update on the Wonderful Work of Faith Adiele from the Afro-Nordic Feminisms WG

Afro-Nordic Feminisms Working Group member Faith Adiele’s experimental essay on her parents' courtship will appear in a special issue of the Michigan Quarterly Review: African Writing: A Partial Cartography of Provocations, edited by Chris Abani.

In November, she presented on decolonial travel at the British Virgin Island Literary Fest with members of the Virgin Islands Studies Collective (Road Town, BVI). In early December, she hosted the 2nd Annual African Literary Award at the Museum of the African Diaspora (San Francisco, USA); she also received a San Francisco Press Club Award for her entertainment review “A Light in the Window of the World: Protest Art and Black Liberation” in Smithsonian Folklife.

In addition, two writing projects launched in December: Life in the Temporary, a bilingual Arabic-English anthology published by the Olive Writers Association based in Casablanca, Morocco that she co-edited; and, the latest issue of Panorama: The Journal of Travel, Place, and Nature (London, UK) where she edits the Decolonising Travel section and also has an essay included about getting braids in Morocco and Nigeria.
