Literature and art lovers are in for a treat from Thursday when curtains will be raised on the twelfth edition of the Goa Arts and Literature Festival at the International Centre Goa at Dona Paula.
The two-day affair will be inaugurated at 5.30 pm at the ICG Laran Lawn by Poet and novelist, Mamang Dai, a Padma Shree awardee. Sagar Naik Mule will unveil the GALF Artwork and there will be a poetry recitation session by Meena Kandasamy.
Goa's own literary giant, Damodar Mauzo, will have his book 'Boy, Unloved' launched. It is translated by Mumbai-based author of Goan origin Jerry Pinto and the duo will be in conversation with Vinutha Mallya.
Entry to the GALF is free for the general public on a first-come-first-serve basis, the organisers said.
