South Asian Literature and Art Festival brings together authors, artists, entrepreneurs
Encina Commons bustled with chatter as students, faculty and visitors gathered for the 2024 South Asian Literature and Art (SALA) Festival on Saturday and Sunday.
The two-day Bay Area festival has celebrated contemporary South Asian culture since 2019 and was co-presented by Art Forum SF and the Stanford Center for South Asia.
While the center is a regular sponsor of SALA, this year’s event marked the festival’s first time on Stanford’s campus, encompassing six categories: art, literature, cinematic, epicurean, journalism and social issues and mental health.
