LLF second day unfolds literary tapestry

LAHORE : The second day of Lahore Literary Festival (LLF) at Alhamra unfolded as a literary tapestry, weaving together profound ideas, artistic milestones, and cultural reflections.

Commencing with the thought-provoking session "Writing the Other," literary giants Mohsin Hamid, Monica Ali, Jose Luis Peixoto, and HM Naqvi delved into the intricate art of infusing emotions into characters. The day they metamorphosed into a journey through the minds of literary luminaries is a testament to the festival's commitment to intellectual exploration.

The exploration of digital frontiers continued with the "Busting Poverty Digitally" panel. Roshaneh Zafar, Momina Aijazuddin, and Sadaffe Abid offered a glimpse into a future where technology intersects with social impact.

Moderated by Taimur Rahman, Professor at LUMS, the session resonated as a call for innovation in the battle against poverty.

The literary kaleidoscope turned with sessions like "Lahore Cinema: Between Realism and Fable" by Iftikhar Dadi, a discussion on "The Widening War" in the Middle East, and a captivating journey through the artistic milestones of Shakir Ali, Zahoor ul Akhlaq, and Imran Qureshi in "Every Milestone a Destination." Alhamra Arts Centre once again stood as the epicenter of intellectual and artistic brilliance.
