Faiz Am'n Mela — Faiz Peace Festival 2025📅 Saturday, 11th October 2025 📍 Brunei Gallery, SOAS, University of London
Join us for the 12th Faiz Peace Festival, a heartfelt celebration of love, resistance, and progressive ideals inspired by the timeless legacy of Faiz Ahmed Faiz. The Faiz Peace Festival (Faiz Amn Mela) is more than a cultural gathering; it is a celebration of conscience. Rooted in Faiz’s poetry and ideals, this festival brings together artists, thinkers, students, activists, and communities who believe in the power of words to shape a just and peaceful world.
This is not a commercialised tribute; it’s a reclaiming of Faiz’s spirit. A space where art meets activism, and poetry becomes a call to conscience.
