One of the few multilingual literary festivals in the world, the Singapore Writers Festival (SWF) returns this year with its 25th edition. Happening from 4 to 20 November, the literary arts festival makes a comeback in full force since the pandemic.
This year’s festival theme, ‘If’, hopes to encapsulate the feelings of hope and a second chance to allow for retrospection and ideation, explains festival director and poet Pooja Nansi. With more than 200 programmes over three festival weekends, there’s a programme for everyone – from children, youth to adults.
Here, we pick out some of the top festival highlights to check out, amidst the exciting line-up of immersive experiences, exhibitions, performances, film screenings, meet-the-author sessions and panel discussions.
