8. Singapore Writers Festival 2023
The Singapore Writers Festival returns from 17 to 26 November 2023, promising more plot twists and unexpected combinations than ever before.
Prepare for surprises as the festival unpacks familiar genres and themes through new and unconventional lenses, exploring unlikely connections between topics and disciplines. Festivalgoers can choose from nearly 200 in-person programs featuring around 250 local and international presenters, all best experienced with curiosity and an open mind.
While maintaining the key literary pillars of the Festival with programming rooted in literary traditions and beloved SWF signature series like the Literary Pioneer series, Southeast Asian Focus, Youth Fringe, and SWF Playground, SWF 2023 is set to stage unlikely combinations and connections, expanding the possibilities of the written and spoken word. This edition also places a special spotlight on Asian-American authors.
Be prepared for curveballs with this year’s lineup of Festival commissions and multidisciplinary programs that go beyond the expected genres at a literary festival. Notable highlights include “50 Years of Bars, Flows, and Beats,” a special lineup of programs in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of hip hop. This will feature music critics, rappers, musicians, and cultural historians in programs ranging from conversations to performances that celebrate the iconic genre and culture while highlighting the intimate intertwining of hip-hop and literature.
