Join the team
FILAA is run by a small volunteer team. For the 2026–2027 season, we are looking for motivated people, with or without experience, ready to give a little of their time.
So, what will FILAA become?
The committee came together only one month before the first edition. We now have a whole year to do even better — and no intention of hibernating until then.
Coming up: book presentations, collaborations with biennials and festivals on the African continent, and events around Lausanne. To make it happen, we are looking right now for:
- 01Lovers of Afro-descendant literature
You read, you recommend, you want to share the work of women and men writers.
- 02People with literary knowledge
A taste for and knowledge of literature, to help build the programme and host conversations.
- 03Social media
Book reviews, discussions, behind the scenes: keeping our accounts alive all year round.
- 04Graphic design
Posters, social media visuals, the look of the 2027 edition.
- 05Volunteers for the 2027 edition
Welcoming the public, bookshop, stage set-up, logistics: more details as the festival approaches.
