About JLF HOUSTON
In February 2024, the 17th edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival took place in the Pink City of Jaipur, Rajasthan. It was a magnificent success, affirming the power of words and ideas through a remarkable line-up of speakers and sessions. The Festival's indomitable and inspiring spirit reached our audiences, both digitally and in-person.
This year, the vibrant energy of the Jaipur Festival makes its return to Houston. The 7th edition of JLF Houston is taking place from September 6th to 8th, 2024.
JLF editions, across several countries that include the US, UK, Spain, the Maldives, and Australia and in the Middle-East, seamlessly merge the rich multilingual literary traditions of South Asia with the unique essence of the host regions.
Through 2021-2022, virtual versions of JLF kept the spirit of creative conversations alive during the Covid years. Writers, thinkers, poets, artists, and filmmakers engaged in captivating discussions.
In 2023, we successfully held another onground edition of JLF Houston, following two successful virtual editions in collaboration with the Consulate General of India, Houston, Asia Society Texas, Inprint, University of Houston, Rothko Chapel, and Eternal Gandhi Museum Houston.
This year, we return to celebrate the distinct culture, vibrant diversity, and dynamic energy of the Bayou City. We once again bring forth our signature camaraderie, a caravan of ideas, and the enchanting flow of conversations that make our festival truly incredible!
