The 2022 PEN America World Voices Festival is coming soon. We're back in person this year, with events happening in New York City and LA, as well as some virtual events!
Join us from May 11–14, 2022 for cross-cultural exchanges ranging from lively debates that delve into the most pressing issues of our time to intimate conversations that awaken us to the beauty and power of literature. Over four days, 70+ writers from 20+ countries will be featured in engaging talks, panels, readings, and performances in New York City’s Village and greater Los Angeles.
The 2022 edition of the PEN World Voices Festival was envisioned and assembled by a curatorial committee chaired by PEN America Senior Director of Literary Programs Clarisse Rosaz Shariyf, alongside poet and translator Eloisa Amezcua; editor of Freeman’s and executive editor of Literary Hub John Freeman; writer, curator, and journalist Devyani Saltzman; and founder and former curator of the award-winning ALOUD series at the Los Angeles Public Library Louise Steinman. Upholding the festival’s long-standing approach to the power of storytelling as a change-making tool, these curators tapped wide-ranging voices from around the globe to help bring about new understandings to this moment of uncertainty and flux—often asking how, from here, we may shape our future.
