building support for South Asian and diasporic writing

Events

We hope to promote the celebration of South Asian and diaspora literature across the world -- to that end, we list other organizations' events here. If you have an upcoming event that you'd like us to link to, please let us know. We're happy to link to archived past events as well, so as to help maintain a record of our work.

Upcoming / Ongoing

    Kriti Festival

    The Kriti Festival is a four-day literary event celebrating South Asian and diaspora literature, and was held in 2005, 2007, and 2009. We hope to bring it back in 2013, if we find sufficient volunteers to organize it; if you live in Chicagoland and are interested in helping out, please e-mail Mary Anne Mohanraj, at mohanraj@mamohanraj.com.


  • Yoni Ki Baat -- a collaborative play, inviting listeners to "come celebrate your Yoni with other women from the South Asian American Diaspora (inclusive of Afghani, Pakistani, Indian, Nepali, Sri Lankan, Maldive, Bhutanese, and Bangladeshi descent)."
