This November, Naija Poetry Fest debuts at the Lagos Book and Arts Festival, (LABAF), 2026; joining forces with the prestigious LABAF to present a dedicated evening centered around creative expression and transformative artistic vision.
Our curated focus for the festival is THE BIGGER PICTURE, an exploration of how verse, performance, and narrative open windows to entirely new ways of seeing ourselves and our shared world.
Where Poetry Becomes Conversation
Presented by LABAF and organized in partnership with the Committee for Relevant Art (CORA), this special highlight brings poets, artists, and culture lovers together under the open skies of Freedom Park, Lagos.
This event is more than a performance; it is an immersive experience where performance meets dialogue, art becomes a living narrative, and words remind us that poetry remains crowned in our hearts.
Come where poetry becomes conversation, art becomes experience, and words open windows to new ways of seeing.
