Salón Internacional del Libro Africano: SILA 2011
The International African Book Fair (SILA), holds its third edition in Tenerife from the 21st to 25th September and will once again count with Casa África's support. Through this project it aims to discover important and still little known literary realities, debating with its protagonists (writers and editors) what the difficulties of writing and editing in Africa are so as to find solutions and obtain help to translate these works that have often been written in the language of the old colonial powers and other in maternal languages.
The 3rd International African Book Fair/Meeting of Editors holds its 3rd edition at Tenerife Espacio de las Artes (TEA), in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, from 21st to 25th September thanks to the collaboration of Cabildo Insular.
Amongst the activities programmed for this SILA 2011, we find the African film cycle Images tell us , that reaches Tenerife by the hand of Cinenómada , a programme sponsored by Casa África and managed by Al Tarab, organiser of the African Film Festival of Tarifa.
Other activities envisaged in the comprehensive SILA 2011 programme are:
• small readings and book presentations
• tables and chats
• musical activities
• exhibitions
