Meet the curators of the 2024 JILF x Jaktent: M. Aan Mansyur, Isna Marifa, John H. McGlynn, and Zen Hae. Together they bring a wealth of expertise in environmental advocacy, eco-criticism, and the intersection of storytelling with social responsibility. These literary and environmental visionaries are committed to narratives of sustainability, eco-literature, and alternative futures.

The curators foster a platform for literature that questions dominant socio-economic models and advocates for sustainable alternatives. By focusing on diverse voices, particularly those from marginalized or indigenous backgrounds, they provide perspectives on sustainability from people of various backgrounds: literary writers, activists, and journalists covering these issues.
