On Monday, JLF producer, Teamwork Arts mentioned, “The festivals will bring together an extremely diverse palate of global themes while celebrating the unique culture, diversity, energy and beauty of the host cities, as usual marked by a strong sense of camaraderie, a caravan of ideas, and the magical flow of conversations.”
The programming will include topics like the COVID-19 pandemic, crime-writing, environment, poetry, international politics, racial equality and discrimination, entertainment and fiction.
JLF co-director Namita Gokhale said, “The challenges of our changing times have led us at JLF to create and curate an incredibly rich and diverse digital platform” that will “as ever, engage with both the local and the global, giving voice to writers, poets and thinkers as they celebrate books, dialogue and debate”.
Teamwork Arts Managing Director, Sanjoy K. Roy also stated, “Literature, ideas and knowledge are at the heart of our every effort to ensure a free flow of knowledge and information, specially in these times.” He further added that between them, the four events will bring together Nobel laureates, Pulitzer, Commonwealth and other award-winning speakers to share their ideas and vision on a slew of issues from BLM to the environment, performing poetry to democracy and from music to film.
