A global citizen whose work and impact as an advocate for the greatness of humanity, Soyinka operates across spaces and boundaries, hence the character of the project designed to honour him.On Tuesday, July 14, winners in the international essay competition of the 11th Wole Soyinka International Cultural Exchange will be announced via Zoom. The winners will be formally unveiled at the Meet & Greet session, which will equally hold virtually in the evening of same day.
The essay competition represents the Students/Youths section of the yearly project. The over 2000 entries went through four levels of adjudication involving 12 judges appointed from the various language zones, most of them in the academic and cultural advocacy sectors. The longlist was then sent to external judges to serve as auditors of the decisions arrived at by the adjudicators.
The second session of the advocacy is on the theme: Reimagining Our World post-Pandemic, and will be moderated by Professor Segun Ojewuyi, a theatre and culture scholar, who, aside from being the head of Directing at the Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, USA, is also co-Executive Producer of the WSICE. He is well reputed as an expert in Soyinka’s drama and theatrical philosophy.
“The idea of the Timeless Memories project series is to project the legacy of Prof. Wole Soyinka and the amazing body of works he has created in new innovative mediums for this generation and the generation to come,” stated Adebowale.
