12:00 –6:30pm
Montalvo Arts Center
15400 Montalvo Road
Saratoga CA
A two-day, multidisciplinary event featuring presentations and panels by more than 40 highly-acclaimed local, national, and international authors and artists covering a variety of topics.
The South Asian Literature and Art Festival (SALA) aims to contribute to the literary and cultural life of the residents of Silicon Valley. The 2022 event focuses on the theme of “Humanity” by examining how the world tends to put people in boxes, categorizing and generalizing communities of different colors, class, gender, and caste. The forums and conversations will examine and celebrate different points of view, while also recognizing that ultimately, it is shared humanity that triumphs.
This expertly-curated event will represent South Asian culture to a broad Bay Area audience. Discussions will take place in venues around Montalvo’s historic Villa and property, and visitors can also enjoy book sales and author signings presented by Books, Inc., a marketplace, children’s craft activities, dance, music, poetry, and painting. Food will be available for purchase, and a bar will offer beer, wine, and soda.
SALA is presented by Art Forum SF and Montalvo Arts Center in partnership with the Stanford University Center for South Asian Studies and the UC Berkeley Institute of South Asian Studies.
