About

The Ibom International Art and Book Festival is interested in dismantling stereotypes that have caught minorities in a web of misrepresentation. Reclaim and Redefine: The Artist and the Art; this year’s theme attempts to bridge the gap in the representation of artists and arts in books and art festivals around the world. We are as interested in undiscovered art and artists as much as the celebrated ones. We are interested in Benin's art while exploring Ijaw’s creative talents. We are interested in creative writers from Akwa Ibom while celebrating creative artists from Ebonyi and Calabar. We are celebrating voices from Trinidad while featuring artists from Albania. We are interested in Australian sculptors while featuring artists from Cameroon.  We are interested in reclaiming to redefine identities in mainstream representation and it begins with one artist and art and one story and a writer.  
IBOM Art and Book Festival will bring more than 2000 writers, poets, musicians, artists, dancers, filmmakers, actors, and thinkers, nationally and internationally, to dialogue and celebrate creativity, literature, through panel discussions, book chats, art exhibitions, workshops, documentaries, exhibitions, poetry performances, concerts, etc. in Uyo Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
