In 2022, the SAATh Festival was born out of the desire to use performative arts as a platform for immigrants to share their experiences to push beyond stereotypes of South Asian communities. Spearheaded by the Boston-based non-profit theater group “Off-Kendrik”, SAATh is a three-day celebration of stories and performances that address a range of issues in multiple languages, from politics in countries of origin to complexities of ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. It offers insights into the diversity of the South Asian-American diaspora, and provides a rare opportunity for community-building, education, and enrichment for people both outside the community and within.​​​
