Theme of PILF 2025

Jalam: The Drop of Life (On the Classic Element Water)

The theme of the Panorama International Literature Festival (PILF) is an exploration of “Jalam: The Drop of Life,” which delves into the profound significance of water, both as a vital element for existence and as a symbol of resilience and renewal. In a world increasingly challenged by water scarcity and environmental concerns, this theme invites writers, thinkers, and artists to reflect on the philosophical dimensions of water, while also addressing its critical role in our lives and ecosystems.

Throughout the festival, participants will engage in meaningful discussions that highlight the interconnectedness of water with culture, identity, and sustainability. Workshops, panels, and presentations will encourage creative expressions that explore water’s many facets—from its representation in literature and art to its implications for social justice and environmental stewardship. This theme serves not only as a call to action but also as an invitation to contemplate our relationship with nature and one another. As we gather to share our insights and experiences, we aspire to inspire collective action towards a sustainable future, honoring water as the essence of life itself.
