I was opportuned to attend the 2nd Igbo Conference, held two days ago @SOAS in London. The theme of the conference was focused on the relationship and relevance of language and culture in performance.
Chika Unigwe was there live! She read excerpts from her two novels, On Black Sisters Street (which btw, won the NLGN prize last year) and Night Dancer.
This is Chika Unigwe smiling away after that lunch was really really something to write home about!
Unfortuantely, I didn't get a close shot of her unique necklace made from different coloured buttons.
Signing copies of her book.
Mission accomplished!
