The 25th edition of the Sharjah International Narrator Forum (SINF) concluded with landmark set of recommendations, including the creation of a specialised encyclopedia and a comprehensive atlas of Arab travel literature, alongside renewed calls to scientifically document and study travellers’ tales as a cornerstone of cultural heritage.
The curtains fell on Friday on the Silver Jubilee edition, themed “Tales of Travelers,” after six vibrant days of cultural exchange and knowledge-sharing.
Organised by the Sharjah Institute for Heritage, the milestone gathering brought together over 120 narrators, scholars, and cultural figures from 37 countries, making it one of the most internationally diverse editions to date.
