Writing in Troubled Times

Join us to hear renowned Ivoirian writer, academic and artist Véronique Tadjo discuss “Writing in Troubled Times”. 

Professor Tadjo will draw on her own writing for adults and children, including her account of visiting Rwanda to bear witness to genocide: The Shadow of Imana.  For more on Tadjo’s work please visit her website: http://www.veroniquetadjo.com/ and consult her staff profile at the University of the Wittwatersrand, Johannesburg: http://www.wits.ac.za/staff/veronique.tadjo
