Walk into an exhibition, browse through stalls, meet people, and finally come together for a group of performances. When you walk into the Museum Cafe at the Museum of Possibilities this Saturday, you can expect all this, but with a twist.
The second edition of the Unfold, The Writing Fest in Chennai organised by The Folded Paper Writing, a writing community isopen to writers above 16 years of age. The event offers idea booths, dedicated corners for games, and time for networking, encouraging writers to come together, exchange ideas, and put their pens to paper.
“We have conceived an experience which will be similar to any other fest, complete with different stalls where the participants can get ideas. Anybody can write, and this is a safe and inclusive environment where we want people to come and participate irrespective of where they are in their writing journey,” says Harini JBL, Founder, The Folded Paper Writing.
To mark their fourth anniversary, The Folded Paper Writing hosted their first writing fest in 2019. While this is the second edition in Chennai, Guwahati has also played host to a similar event. The fest will culminate in an open mic session.
