The eighth Makassar International Writers Festival (MIWF) is to be held from May 2 to 5 at Fort Rotterdam, several campuses and other locations across Makassar, South Sulawesi. Initiated by independent cultural organization Rumata’ Artspace, the event has been given the theme “Voice/Noise” and is set to highlight several important topics related to current affairs, in Makassar, nationally and globally, such as the 20th year of Indonesian reformation, the 2018 simultaneous regional elections, preparations for the 2019 presidential election, the growing cooperation between communities worldwide to respond to social phenomena and the rise of literature and cultural collaborations between different countries that were independently initiated by global citizens.

About Us

For short, our main feature, the writer's directory, provides a way for writers to find one another, but more importantly, the resources provided make it easy for event hosts—especially for international event hosts—literary organizers, arts administrators, librarians, booksellers, and readers to get in touch with writers. It's a HOME FOR INDONESIAN WRITERS. We strive to break down the language barriers that have prevented Indonesian books or literature from becoming more widespread.

Questions, comments, articles, info, etc. are more than welcome. Just send us an e-mail, mention us on Twitter/Instagram/Facebook or use the contact form.
