Listening to the conversations at the Kampala Writes Litfest hosted by @MakLiterature at @MakerereCHUSS and @GZ_Kampala and @UgBritish, I'm forced to rethink my academic engagement with notions of the Festival's theme: Belonging.

AI has posed a big thread on publishing. If AI creates your work, the law can not protect it. The law regulates what is created by humans and not AI. Unfortunately, in Uganda, the law has not caught up with AI yet - Kenneth Muhangi #klawriteslitfest2025 #beloning

A lot of effort is put on the writer and publisher during such gatherings. But none is doing anything about the reader. Why don't we focus on the readers? We need to start putting money into the readers - Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi #klawritelitfest2025 #belonging

Language is where we define our identity. It's how we define our belonging. There is a dire need to use indigenous languages in our writing - Mercy Kirui

We (Africa) need to control our own means of production to make our books affordable. We don't have that many press points. Also, payments and movement of books across the continent is quite hard making them really expensive - Anwuli Ojogwu

The truth is no one is going to fund art that speaks the truth. So, how do we as institutions ensure that the artists' voices aren't muffled? - Elizabeth Mbabazi #klawrites2025
