Organized by the Stanford Center for South Asia in collaboration with Art Forum SF, the South Asian Literature and Art Festival showcases contemporary reflections of literature and arts from the sub-continent and its diaspora. It features highly acclaimed contemporary South Asian Art collections as well as panel discussions that include Art, Literature, Poetry, and Cinema. Authors and artists across the globe will represent their experiences through keynotes, panels, and live presentations. The theme this year is “Plurality in community,” where ArtForum SF explores caste, class, gender, and borders to understand how individuality and collectivity can coexist and collide.

The Festival will take place September 28-29 at the Stanford Center for South Asia and is co-sponsored by the UC Santa Cruz Center for South Asian Studies.
