Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters is one of the largest literary festivals in India, and we are gearing up for our fifth edition on Feb 8-11, 2024 in Kanakakunnu Palace, Thiruvananthapuram. The last edition of the festival hosted 500 speakers and performers from across India and overseas, including Nobel and Booker winners. Through MBIFL, we curate a diverse tapestry of literary voices, from established authors to emerging talents, creating a vibrant tapestry of ideas and creativity.

Exploring Plurality, the theme for the fifth edition of MBIFL, is a 360-degree attempt to the promise of plurality and understanding diverse perspectives, cultures, and identities. Our speakers include leading writers and thinkers from around the world, bringing with them different realities, challenges, solutions and perspectives.
