Lọ́unlọ́un is a Pan-African literary journal. We are interested in literature rooted in historical events that have shaped the continent. We want to tell stories about Africa by African writers, both at home and abroad.
The events that make us who we are, both the joyous as well as the melancholic ones, are experiences easily forgotten as we go from generation to generation; experiences whose lessons might have faded lọ́unlọ́un; experiences which must be retold and remembered. Whether it’s a speculative exploration of what might have been, a realistic portrayal of historical events, or a narration of how one personally experienced a historical event, each tale contributes to the mosaic of our shared heritage.
Vision
We aim to become a leading platform for preserving African memory and remembering Africa’s history.
Partnerships
We are always looking to partner with like-minded individuals and organisations interested in African History and Literature. Please reach out if interested. Email us at Lounlounjournal@gmail.com
