Join us for the Benue Book and Arts Festival [V], a vibrant intercontinental cultural event that showcases the rich creativity of diasporans in England and also celebrates Nigeria’s Middle Belt through various artistic expressions. There are two main dates to look forward to and two major cities:

Nottingham, United Kingdom 25th January 2025
Makurdi, Nigeria 21st and 22nd February 2025 [with a welcome evening celebration on the 20th!]

Produced by SEVHAGE Publishers and the SEVHAGE Literary and Development Initiative, alongside several partners, prominently including Goethe Institut for this edition, BBAAF brings art, literature, and social impact together in a series of engaging activities, culminating in events in Nottingham, England and a week-long hybrid summit in Makurdi, Nigeria where the community gathers both physically and online.

This is calling all writers, artists, creatives, and art enthusiasts everywhere and anywhere interested to reach us – because, why not? 🙂
