On 4 August 2023, Kathelijn Vervarcke presented some of her selected Gambian fables and miracle stories from the oeuvre of Cornelius Gomez and Awa Jaw-Auber. In publishing 'Gambian folk tales and fables', the authors aimed to revive the dying art of storytelling by the fireside.
Audiences enjoyed a slice of authentic Gambian folk culture full of life lessons and were immersed in a wonderful world where animals, spirits and humans play a central part.
