The 2025 edition, "Root & Remedy: Prescriptions for an Uncertain World," converts the festival into a Caribbean Literary Botánica devoted to stories, rituals, and remedies that meets our present moment of upheaval with imagination and resolve.
BCLF is a living, breathing affirmation of the Caribbean's enduring spirit, relevance and creative power, charting how Brooklyn is a diasporic crossroads for Caribbean narratives.
BCLF's programming is intentionally fluid and unorthodox, echoing the organic way Caribbean culture weaves through life, merging literature with music, visual art, food culture, and oral tradition.
The seventh annual BCLF Short Fiction Story Contest officially closed on July 1, 2025, with six guest judges adjudicating the entries for prizes honoring the late Dr. Elizabeth Nunez.
