Organizer The Cooler Lumpur Festival
Organizer of The Cooler Lumpur Festival 2017: Notes from the Future [20th August 2017]
The Cooler Lumpur Festival is a multidisciplinary festival curated by PopDigital. It is Southeast Asia’s first festival of ideas. The Kuala Lumpur-centric festival adopts specific themes each year with the aim to expand the city's cultural horizons, build stronger communites and cultivate the creativity and imagination of people.
Established in 2013, the festival is a platform that aims to bring together writers, artists, musicians, and thinkers from all across the globe in an attempt to create new connections, to share and spread new ideas, and to serve as a catalyst to our cultural conversation. Powered by writers and thinkers, by artists and musicians, ours is a gathering that aims to challenge people to debate and learn and grapple with the ideas and issues that constantly confront our society.
Why is this relevant? Because we believe that building discussion and dialogue is the hallmark of any great society. Because we beleive in the irresistible and contagious power of a great idea and the latent potential it holds to inspire awareness, change and transformation.
