Nigerian Mythology: JustBarny Hosts Live Podcast Session on The God Weaver in Abuja
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how stories are told, and Nigerian literature is part of that conversation. This Friday, JustBarny hosts a live special podcast session in Abuja on “A.I. in Nigerian Literature: Exploring Mythical Narratives Through a Contemporary Lens.”
The session will look at where AI intersects with Nigerian literature, mythology, storytelling and contemporary creative expression. A central focus will be a review of The God Weaver, used as a lens for the wider questions. How do age-old myths live on in an era of intelligent machines? What does AI offer writers and storytellers, and what should the culture guard closely?
Anyone who cares about African storytelling, whether writer, filmmaker, podcaster, designer or reader, will find something to engage with. Attendees are invited to listen, share their views and connect with fellow creatives.
