Ubud Writers Festival
This is an annual major event for the non profit foundation of Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati. It is initially conceived by Jane Deneefe, co-founder of the foundation as a healing project in response to Bali first bombing. This festival’s mission is simply to create a literary event that encourages free speech among people from all walks of life, race and gender to celebrate the beauty of the written words. Therefore the festival facilitates sharing of stories on a world stage arena by bringing Indonesians and international writers together while expanding literature across cultures
