Following a two-year hiatus, the 2022 edition of the ever-inspiring, thought-provoking Open Book Festival took place this past weekend from 2 to 4 September.
Housed in the new home of the festival is the HCC Homecoming centre, which is a two-minute walk from the District Six Museum, however, the three-day Open Book Festival hosts different authors who are able to debate with audiences on a variety of different themes and topics and embark on brave and important conversations.
Furthermore, the aim for the festival was to provide people with a safe space where challenging but meaningful conversations can take place and to make those conversations accessible to everyone.
“People were clearly yearning for the chance to engage and interact with one another and to do so in person,” added Mervyn.
