The Bru•x•ss•el•le•s Black Book Fair is back at Muntpunt for its third edition,
curated by the Som•m•e of Us collective.
Som-m-e Of Us is a new multidisciplinary collective of young Black grassroots
cultural curators and community space organizers.
Also this year the Black Book Fair will offer a Saturday filled with activities
centering black literature and narratives. It will be another great opportunity
to dive into the expansive and diverse world of black(-descendant) storytellers
and actors of the literature sector of Belgium and beyond, who are still too
often underrepresented.
