Call for proposals: 2022 Pa Gya! Literary Fest in Accra

Put together by the Writers Project of Ghana and Goethe-Institut Ghana, the festival caters to all art literary forms, and aims to bring together creatives and intellectuals like writers, critics, academics, performers, artists and musicians.

The programme features activities such as workshops, panel discussions, networking, book launches, readings, sales and literary prize awards. Over the years, the festival has grown to include art talks, art and literary exhibitions and film screenings.
