9 July 18:30–20:00 | Nocturne/Blue Light Moon: Public Reading and Interview with Yvonne A. Owuor
Followed by a Conversation with Ana Rocío Jouli.
Part of the EXC 2020 Annual Conference 2025 "Futures of Doing Literature", 9–11 July 2025.
Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor is a Kenyan author whose works explore desire, longing, memory, being, and the reimagining of African geopolitics, futures, and world-building. We are pleased to welcome her to this session with a reading from her forthcoming novel Nocturne, followed by an audience Q&A. Audience members are encouraged to reflect on literature as a temporal practice of reckoning and reimagining and consider how narrative forms generate plural futures while unsettling inherited histories and geographies of power.
