Regional luminaries such as Zubeen Garg, Joi Barua, and Adil Hussian will also be in attendance. Speaking to journalists in Guwahati, Proyashi Barua, Founder and Director of the Assam LitArt Fest, stated, The Assam LitArt Fest is committed to bringing together writers, filmmakers, and artists to create platforms and spaces for them to exchange ideas and collaborate with their counterparts across the nation.
This is the first festival in the country to celebrate literature, art, filmmaking, music, and crafts on one platform. The first edition will take place on February 17th and 18th at Royal Global University and will be inaugurated by Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The theme of this inaugural edition of the Assam LitArt Fest is "Celebrating Plurality of Expressions." The two-day itinerary includes speaker sessions, panel discussions, workshops, book launches, art exhibits, and music and cultural shows.
While literature, cinema, and works of art from the region have gained more recognition and appreciation from readers, audiences and art enthusiasts from across the country in recent years, we believe that our creative fraternity deserves even more recognition and visibility. The LitArt Foundation, which upholds the principles of freedom, courage, integrity, and secularism in the domain of literature, art, and filmmaking, was recently registered in Guwahati under the Societies Registration Act.
Moving forward, the Foundation will also collaborate with academic institutions and organizations in the creative space to undertake research and documentation work.
