It will bring together an eclectic mix of cultural powerhouses, from V.S Naipaul to Pharrell Williams to Mike Figgis (best known for writing and directing "Leaving Las Vegas") and Hong Kong's own Wing Shya and Khalil Fong.

The celebrity brains will gather for a three-day powwow to present and talk about their own projects to the public as well as exchange ideas amongst themselves.

Liberatum is a multidisciplinary festival founded by Pablo Ganguli in London 11 years ago. It has since taken place in several countries, including Russia, India, Morocco, Papua New Guinea and Turkey.

It claims to be a humanitarian effort of "international cultural diplomacy" as well as a celebration of "art, design, fashion, literature, film, music and ideas." Basically an excuse to bring together some of the most glamorous thinkers of our time in different parts of the world.
