CSAS Co-Sponsors South Asian Literature and Arts Festival

Event Description:

Organized by Menlo College in collaboration with Art Forum SF, the South Asian Literature and Art Festival (SALA) showcases contemporary reflections on literature and art from the sub-continent and its diaspora. Showcasing South Asian culture and diasporic concerns, it features highly-acclaimed, contemporary South Asian speakers as well as over twenty panel discussions on art, literature, poetry, cinema, culinary arts, and more. This year’s theme, “thoughts without borders,” draws our attention to the need to come together in our contemporary moment to examine the borders we create, such as caste, class, gender, and nationhood, which can serve to separate instead of connect us.

The Festival will take place September 13-14 at Menlo College in Atherton, and it is co-sponsored by the UC Santa Cruz Center for South Asian Studies.
