Hyderabad: The first edition of the 'Women Writers', a daylong festival by She The People.TV that puts the spotlight on authors, writers, bloggers, in association with FICCI FLO Hyderabad, was held here on Sunday.
This edition of the festival is curated by founder Shaili Chopra and Ideas Editor Kiran Manral. The day-long festival began with a panel discussion – "We are the city" – curated and moderated by Pinky Reddy. Moderating it, she recalled her childhood memories in the city. There is no match to Hyderabad. A lot of people come and settle here. I used to write a bicycle on the roads of Banjara Hills, which I can't think of doing it now.
The focus of the festival was Women's Writings from Hyderabad. The fest provided a forum for women writers from varied fields to come together and discuss issues that are important to the cultural and social fabric of the city of Hyderabad. The diverse range of participants in each panel made for rich discussions on the feminine and the feminist voice in fiction, the culture of Hyderabad, food trends, blogging, nutrition and fitness, contemporary women's writing, poetry and more, and is sure to inspire change.
Founder of SheThe People.TV, Shaili Chopra, said, "As I see it, Women Writers are breaking new ground as writers, scriptwriters, micro fiction bloggers, authors, graphic artists, and storytellers. The Women Writers Fest endeavors to connect, engage and elevate this community and create an emerging platform of ideas.
"SheThePeople.TV through its curated events and community gatherings will continue to push boundaries and thinking on women's issues. We will do everything to celebrate women and their efforts in different genres and sectors," she added further.
