Afkar e Taza ThinkFest Invites You to Come, Think, and Question – Mark the Dates!

The much-anticipated Afkar-e-Taza ThinkFest is back! Mark your calendars for January 11-12, 2025, as Alhamra Lahore becomes the epicenter of intellectual engagement and cultural exchange. 

This year’s ThinkFest, now in its 8th edition, promises to be an extraordinary celebration of innovative ideas and critical discourse.

Theme – A Dialogue Between Past and Present

Inspired by the timeless words of historian E.H. Carr—“History is an unending dialogue between the past and the present”—the ThinkFest explores the ever-evolving relationship between historical narratives and contemporary realities. 

This theme finds vivid expression in the festival’s unique visual motif: old stamps from around the world reimagined with iconic protest images of today. These stamps symbolize the connection between history and modern struggles, offering a thought-provoking lens through which to view our shared human journey.
