The African Caribbean Writers’ Festival Australia, with the theme “How We Tell Our Stories,” will be hosted in Sydney on Saturday, September 27, 2025.
The African Caribbean Writers’ Festival Australia was founded to centre and celebrate the profound stories of Africa and the Caribbean diaspora while also highlighting and empowering the voices of African and Caribbean writers in Australia. The two founders, Maggie Wairimu Hari and Pardina Samson-Fessal, created it as a vibrant celebration, dedicated to illuminating the powerful stories that have shaped and continue to resonate through generations.

It will feature poets, novelists, visual artists, spoken word artists, and journalists for author panels, Poetry Performances, and a quiz that will test your knowledge of African and Caribbean literature.
