Poets' Biographical Data: Poetry Africa Festival 1997–2022
Description
This dataset includes biographical data on poets who performed at the Poetry Africa festival between 1997 and 2022. The dataset builds on data compiled by University of Kwa-Zulu Natal’s Centre for Creative Arts, as part of a broader Poetry Africa Archive Project. The project was conceptualised by Dr. Ismail Mahomed [Director] and Siphindile Hlongwa [Curator for Literature Festivals] and funded by The National Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences. Karen Byera Ijumba and Steve Jones developed the data organisation and collection structure and flow, and Ijumba was supported by Sinazo ‘Momo’ Gamedala and Sizwe Hlophe in extracting the date, geographical, biographical and visual data from Poetry Africa Festival Catalogues (1997 - 2022). The foundational data set was first published as the Poetry Africa Digital Map."
