The second day of the 10th Faiz Festival at Alhamra centre engaged the visitors in thought-provoking discussions along with art and cultural activities.

The day commenced with a dance performance by students of a private school.

A thought-provoking session featured Shahzad Ghias, Faisal Warraich, Moneeza Jahangir and Dr Taimoor Rahman who engaged in an exchange of views on the media's evolving influence in shaping political narratives.

A tribute to poet Sufi Tabassum brought together Moeen Nizami, Kishwar Naheed, Salima Hashmi and Akhtar Waqar Azeem.

Another powerful dialogue unfolded in a session titled "Dharti Ki Malkaein," where Tasneem Akhtar Jameel, Rakshanda Naz, Khushnood Deedar, Dr Nishat Riaz and Semmi Raheel shared insightful perspectives.
