The spirit of the iconic Jaipur Literature Festival, held annually in India, travels across countries and continents with a caravan of writers, thinkers, poets, influencers, balladeers and raconteurs.

The inaugural JLF-North Carolina will take place at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, strategically located in the Research Triangle, a hub known for its rapid growth driven by top-tier universities, thriving tech industries, and a rich cultural scene encompassing arts, cuisine, and innovation. The region’s vibrant arts community will provide a fitting backdrop for this literary extravaganza.

JLF-North Carolina is a landmark addition to the JLF USA series in Boulder, Houston, New York City and Seattle, fostering intellectual exchange, artistic exploration, and cultural dialogue, and contributing to the region’s vibrant spirit of creativity and innovation.
