The Committee For Relevant Art (CORA) has declared 2014 ‘The
Soyinka Year’ and proclaimed the theme of this year’s edition of the Lagos
Book and Art Festival (LABAF) as ‘Freedom &The Word’.
CORA asserts that, “these two go well together: Soyinka has worked towards
the unshackling of our freedom of expression for all these years and in the
year of the 25th anniversary of the Fall of The Berlin Wall; 20th
anniversary of South Africa’s democracy and the 15th year of Nigeria’s end
to military rule, it is fitting to honour a landmark birthday of a
man whose life-long career irrepressibly dotes on concern about human
Freedom(s) with a year-long programme that interrogates our quest for
freedom, especially through the letters.”
