In April 2021, a general bookshop took over the commercial ground-floor premises of the neoclassical-style building on the corner of Rue Longue Vie/Lang-Levenstraat. The building dates from the late 19th century and still retains its original joinery. While not specialising exclusively in Afro-literature, the shop celebrates this genre around the world, including works written by African, Afro-European, Afro-American and Afro-Caribbean authors. Situated in the heart of the Matongé/Matonge neighbourhood, this new destination aims to become a hub for multicultural exchange and interaction by hosting author events, exhibitions, workshops and artistic activities, while keeping the bookshop centre-stage.
