LitBeat 2025 is back. With collaboration with IdeaFest, this year we will celebrating stories, voices, and freedom across Southeast Asia.

This year’s theme, “Narrating Freedom,” invites us to rethink what freedom means today — not only as a historical moment, but as a living practice expressed through words, art, and identity.

From folklore as resistance to poetry in the metropolis, LitBeat brings together writers, publishers, and literary organizers from across the region for two days of conversation, collaboration, and creativity.

With support from the Ministry of Culture of Indonesia through the MTN Seni Budaya — a national initiative to discover, nurture, and promote Indonesian creative talents at home and abroad.

Join the dialogue. Celebrate freedom.
