Announcing SALA Festival 2023
October 7th and 8th, 2023
THANK YOU for making the South Asian Literature and Art Festival 2022 the success it was!
A two-day, multidisciplinary event featuring presentations and panels by more than 50 +highly-acclaimed local, national, and international authors and artists covering a variety of topics, in one space!
Featured poetry and prose reading
Featured women owned small business
This expertly-curated event represented South Asian culture to a broad Bay Area audience
The 2022 event focused on a theme of “Humanity” by examining how the world tends to put people in boxes, categorizing and generalizing communities of different color, class, gender, and caste. The forums and conversations will examine and celebrate different points of view, while also recognizing that ultimately, it is a shared humanity that triumphs.
