Queer Chennai Chronicles - Queer LitFest is to bring together varied queer perspectives about literature from, and about India. The one day festival would have a series of sessions that would be in the form of panel discussions, oration, poetry and reading performances.

The aim is to create a conversation about Queer Indian literature, Queerness in India and to bring together political and literary values of the works that play an important role in the lives of queer persons. This would also encourage and create opportunities for queer writers, translators and artists who are otherwise invisibilized or ignored in various literary platforms; and a deeper appreciation for queer literature.
