Storytelling for Kids with Njamba Koffi

Join writer Njamba Koffi in MOA’s Presentation Circle for an interactive session exploring stories from the African diaspora.
Presented in conjunction of MOA’s feature exhibition Sankofa: African Routes, Canadian Roots, this afternoon explores stories and perspectives of the African diaspora. You will have the opportunity to get immersed in a fictional Congolese origin story and hear excerpts from Njamba’s upcoming children’s book.
Come join in dynamic call-and-response songs and sing along to the guitar as you learn more about traditional folk stories from a number of different African traditions. Find out more about Njamba’s own routes and roots, and feel free to ask questions about his career as a writer.
This event is suitable for children ages 5 to 12.
