Virtual DC South Asian Literary Festival 2022

<p>Our 2nd annual DC South Asia Literary Festival (DCSALF) will be held virtually from April 16-23, 2022. This year our festival will feature prominent best-selling authors and professors of Literature and Creative Writing departments at prominent US universities. We are commencing our literary festival on April 16th, Sunday, with Internationally Acclaimed Gulzar Saab, an Indian poet, lyricist, author, screenwriter, and film director known for his works in Hindi cinema. We are also pleased to announce our partnership with the Writer’s Center of Bethesda to deliver unique workshop offerings.</p><p>We began hosting an annual DC South Asian Literary Festival (DCSALF) in addition to our annual DC South Asian Film Festival (DCSAFF). These festivals directly align with our mission to produce and host meaningful programs to give South Asian artists a platform to entertain, educate, and inspire our audience. The DCSALF expands important opportunities for writers and artists in Maryland and the broader DC Metro area to initiate discussion on South Asian social issues. We continue to form and strengthen relationships with new artists and audiences to ultimately maximize the representation of South Asian arts and culture. Our festivals help support, promote, and provide opportunities for South Asian artists.</p>
