In 2018, our inaugural year, we hosted the first book readings for example with Yaa Gyasi, Niq Mhlongo, Sulaiman Addonia and Nadifa Mohamed. Since then, we have had a variety of renowned authors, including Michelle Bartley, Panashe Chigumadzi, Petina Gappah, Bartholomew Grill, Tendai Huchu, Abubakar Adam Ibrahim, Emanuel Iduma, Tete Loeper, Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi, Sarah Ladipo Manyika, Yara Nakahanda Monteiro, Johny Pitts, Pierrot Raschdorff, and Emilia Roig.

We are also very happy to have hosted many book launches. For example, Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor launched her novel 'The Sea of Dragonflies' in our bookshop. In 2020 our association member Flora Veit-Wild presented her book 'They called you Dambudzo' with us. In 2021 we co-hosted the book premieres of Laura Holder for 'VERSUCH DICH ABZUSCHREIBEN' and of Fiston Mwanza Mujila for 'Kontinentaldrift'.
