Alliance School of Liberal Arts puts Bengaluru on the Lit World Map through the Asia Pacific Literary Festival 2022

The closing keynote on the final day of the festival was conducted with International Booker Prize winner, Geetanjali Shree on her award-winning Hindi novel, Ret Samadhi (trans. Tomb of Sand). The festival came to an end with performances by actor Danish Sait and Carnatic rock band AGAM.

The theme for the festival was 'Writing outside the frame' that brought together an exhilarating confluence of styles and mediums of literature that evade convention. The panel themes ranged from speculative and hybrid fiction, writing and activism, creative writing, women's writing, heritage and myth, the power of short stories, and writing for the young.

The University campus was transformed into a landscape of light and colour during the event with art installations, bookshelves, culinary carts, and handicraft. On all three days, the audiences were enthralled by cultural and musical sessions like Yakshagana, Experimental Movement, Film screenings, Battle of the Bands, Dance Wars, and Unplugged Music sessions.
