Poetavango�s programme at Maun Library

Poetavango, the poetry collective in Maun that runs the annual Maun International Arts Festival, is now running a very ambitious programme at the library in Maun.

With support from the American Embassy, they have put together a programme to uplift the artists in their community including visual artists, writers, musicians, comedians, spoken word poets, storytellers, and also events for the general public. The activities either take place in the library itself, or at the back in a tented area, in most cases in the evenings so that working people can attend.

The programme has already begun. The first activity was a Branding and Marketing Awareness Workshop targeted at musicians. It started on May 25. The objective was to teach upcoming artists how to use the internet to further their careers and to use social media such as Twitter and Facebook to improve their brand. They were also taught how to upload their music and videos on YouTube. The artists met for three days from 4.30pm-6.30pm inside the library where they had access to computers and the internet.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
