What a journey! Amazing to meet and reason with the Senagalese brother @_arifstyle about négritude, music and poetry. Amazing amount of knowledge shared with such a generous spirit. Honoured to have made a great connection for the @papoets project. Shout out @2tukani for the link and connecting work. Bless up all the brothers I’ve met these past two weeks @vrystaat_kunstefees, unapologetically supporting the Queens in the contemporary African poetry and literature movement. @writersvictoria #myerfoundation #neilmasidneyliterarytravelfund #sistazaitravels https://www.instagram.com/p/BzsNqCWgBOv/?igshid=15rxlhcgxk3l7

Well, I’ve left Bloemfontein and have landed in Joburg, on my way back to Cape Town. These are just highlights of my experience. Some of the amazing people I met, collaborated with, shared stages with, felt deeply inspired by and will work to build with, if it is ordained. I’m still digesting the magnificence of the program and the experience as a whole. I can say this, I feel wholly nourished and affirmed as an artist. Give thanks to the Ancestors for always making a way forward and knowing what challenges to place in our paths so we may grow the muscles required to reap the abundant harvest and feast they desire for us all. Blessings abound. @writersvictoria #myerfoundation #neilmasidneyliterarytravelfund #sistazaitravels #Bloemfontein2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzpRiM-AvsK/?igshid=e7e4s8t8k1vx

I’ve been silent, right? Been busy getting in and amongst everything this amazing festival has to offer. Early days and late nights. So many good things. One of the highlights from the last 30 hours of social media silence? Meeting #dianaferrus and hearing her @tinashetafirenyika93 perform their individual #saartjiebaartman stories. We out here, reclaiming our ancestors bones from European museums and our contemporary bodies and souls from mental slavery. @writersvictoria #sidneyneilmaliterarytravelfund #myerfoundation #sistazaitravels #Bloemfontein2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzcOQ6cAosJ/?igshid=13rvjg1pgmidd

Today’s mission: sunbake and read. What a beautiful little spot (yes, I’m ‘spying’ on the neighbours and watching life - my favourite way to travel). Give thanks for time to pause and be inspired and process and immerse. #neilmasidneytravelgrant #writersvictoria #myerfoundation #sistazaitravels #capetown2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/By2ar1PArMd/?igshid=plntz5jgnwpr
