GTLF 2026 Fringe Event: Stories on Rotation

Our Stories, On Rotation is heading to George Town, Penang!

Join us for a new edition of this intimate afternoon of books, conversations and connection, bringing together stories that travel across places, communities and lived experiences.

Rotate among discussion tables, each centred on a different book with a short reading and conversation prompt. Whether the book is familiar or entirely new to you, each table offers a welcoming entry point to discover a story, exchange perspectives and connect with fellow readers.

Your ticket also includes a slice of cake and a refreshing drink. We’re delighted to be collaborating with Black Kettle for the first time, right in the heart of George Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Through short stories, personal accounts and poetry, these books explore memory, identity, mental health and the possibilities of change, inviting us to reflect on our own experiences and how we understand one another. Come share in these stories and discover unexpected connections along the way.

Titles on rotation include:
• We Saw Mountains
• The Sound of SCH
• What Give Us Our Names
• A History of Amnesia
