The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival is the major annual project of the not-for-profit foundation, the Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati. It was first conceived of by Janet DeNeefe, Co-founder of the Foundation, as a healing project in response to the first Bali bombing.
The 14th Ubud Writers & Readers Festival will return to Bali’s cultural capital from 25–29 October, 2017, and will be explored through the lens of this year’s theme, ‘Origins’. The full lineup of speakers has been announced
