The South Asian Literature & Art Festival is a two day celebration of creativity, culture, and storytelling under the theme Thoughts Without Borders. The festival brings together authors, poets, artists, and performers for conversations, workshops, and panels that explore identity, diaspora, literature, art, cuisine, and cinema. From asemic writing and children’s literature to speculative fiction and film, the program blends tradition with innovation and creates space for dialogue across borders of language, class, and culture.
why rooh recommends attending
At rooh, we are drawn to experiences that expand imagination while deepening connection. SALA offers just that, a rare gathering where art and literature are not only celebrated but used as a bridge between communities and perspectives.
We recommend this festival because it is both inspiring and inclusive, encouraging us to see stories in new forms and voices. It is an immersion into South Asian creativity that leaves you with fresh insight, a sense of belonging, and renewed curiosity about the world.
