LAHORE:

The second day of the 9th Faiz Festival transformed the Alhamra Arts Centre into a vibrant celebration of art, literature, and music, drawing an enthusiastic crowd.

The day commenced with a dance performance by students of Lahore Grammar School. Literature enthusiasts engaged in a compelling discussion on Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poetry, featuring personalities Zehra Nigah and Iftikhar Arif. Meanwhile, a session on "Women in Media" brought forth powerful narratives from Samina Peerzada, Bee Gul, and Uzma Hassan.

Adding to the literary richness, book launches such as "You Can't Please All: Memoirs 1980-2024" and "Forgotten Images—Colonial Era Postcards" provided deep insights into history and personal experiences.

Satire took centre stage with renowned author M Hanif, who captivated audiences with his humor-laced commentary.
