TISS Literature Festival 2026 – Youth and Literature: Time & Memories

---

What do stories mean to us?

How does the fiction in Indian writing reflect the realities around us?

How do memories shape who we become?

And how can the words written and read by the youth of today imagine the world of tomorrow?

Get ready to explore these questions and much more at the TISS Literature Festival 2026, celebrating the theme "Youth and Literature: Time & Memories" 📖

Over two days, step into a world of ideas, stories and discussions on poetry, cinema, theatre and art. From thought-provoking panel discussions with eminent writers and thinkers to multilingual poetry sessions and vibrant student performances, there’s something for every curious mind and creative soul.

Whether you love reading, writing, performing, questioning or simply discovering new perspectives, this is where your stories meet ours ✨

Come for the stories. Stay for the conversations. Leave with a thousand new thoughts!
