They say change is the only constant in life; an inevitable reality. Currents of Change -- the theme of the sixth edition of Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters -- is a representation of the ever-evolving narratives around us. Societies must be able to adapt to and navigate currents of change. There are opportunities and challenges, which could either disrupt or transform traditional institutions and social structures. Currents of change come with the ability to shape and transform societies, economies, and cultures over time.

At MBIFL 2025, we explore currents of change driven by various factors, including demographic shifts, environmental concerns, technological advancements, economic trends, and social movements.
