KALAM SALAAM – TOLEO MAALUMU!

Katika kuadhimisha Wiki ya Kiswahili, Kalam Salaam inakualika kwenye usiku wa kipekee wa sanaa, fasihi, na majadiliano ya kuchochea fikra!

Tukio hili maalum litaambatana na uzinduzi wa Toleo Maalum la "Kusadikika" kwa lugha ya Kiswahili na Kifaransa—riwaya ya kihistoria ya Shaaban Robert iliyopewa uhai mpya kupitia mitazamo ya kisasa katika michoro ya kisanii na muziki.

Usiku huo utapambwa na maonyesho ya michoro na muziki uliotungwa kwa msukumo wa Kusadikika, pamoja na mjadala wa kina na mchoraji na wanamuziki waliotafsiri maandiko hayo kuwa kazi za sauti na rangi. Mjadala huo utaelezea safari zao za ubunifu, na maana waliyoipata katika maandishi hayo.

Karibu tuadhimishe Wiki ya Kiswahili kwa heshima ya lugha yetu, kupitia sanaa inayogusa moyo na kufungua fikra.

Katika Kalam Salaam hii, tunamkumbuka na kumsherehekea k**a sauti isiyotetereka—aliyesimama kidete kwa ajili ya lugha za Kiafrika na kutuachia hadithi zisizopitwa na wakati.
