Storied Women has an agenda: invite five young, black and brown women writers to reflect on their processes, challenges and achievements in an effort to foster collaboration, support and community through the sharing of stories.

The Creative Writing Programme at the University of Cape Town hosts the 'Decolonisation and Literature' series. The programme invites writers to reflect on the current moment and the status of writing in South Africa. Students and the university are invited, in turn, to engage with those working in the profession.
