Evaristo, best known for her novel Girl, Woman, Other, made history as the first Black woman and Black British person to win the Booker Prize in 2019. Her literary contributions continue to shape contemporary discussions on identity, race, and gender. Additionally, her 2013 novel Mr Loverman has recently been adapted into an eight-part BBC drama, further solidifying her influence in modern literature.
Since its inaugural series of events in 2019, Femfest has highlighted and celebrated the experiences and achievements of women through programmes including musical and theatrical performances, art exhibitions, lectures, and seminars which have shone a light on diverse topics such as women in the film and sports arenas, and much more.
Registration is now open for the Bernardine Evaristo event as excitement builds ahead of this year’s festival.
