On Monday evening, poetry and spoken word art lovers gathered at the Kampala Serena Hotel, Victoria Hall, to celebrate the 11th anniversary of Kwivuga, the Odyssey Poetry Session.
The celebrated poetry session that runs once a week has built a reputation of producing some of the finest poets and spoken word artists in the region.
Since 2012, the event has given a number of literature lovers a platform to flaunt their talents.
After 11 years of existence, the brand has grown and I&M Bank Uganda came in handy to ensure they had a big celebration for the event’s 11-year milestone.
If the event production and attendance witnessed at the Kampala Serena hotel on Monday is anything to go by, then the future for the Kwivuga series is definitely a bright one.
Among the evening’s performers included Jason Ntaro, Babaluku, Ngobi Kagayi, Roshan Karmali, Ruyonga, The Mith, Wonder JR and Lillian Mbabazi who all put up memorable performances.
Nunu Umuringa Butare, the Kwivuga founder thanked poetry and spoken word art lovers for walking the 11-year jounery with her. She also got the audience emotional when she invited her teenage son and daughter on the stage, and revealed that they are the reason she never gave up on chasing the dream of turning Kwivuga into a big event.
