Join us for the Second Annual Sikhs in Storytelling hosted by SALDEF!
On May 11, 2025, we’re bringing together an incredible lineup of community leaders, creatives, entertainers, and artists for a day of workshops, panels, performances, and fireside chats — all designed to amplify Sikh voices and elevate the narratives of our community.
This year’s event will highlight the powerful stories of Sikh Americans from the Midwest, and feature the talented individuals and groups shaping the future of our community’s representation through art, entertainment, and culture.
Why Attend?
This immersive event is the perfect opportunity to:
Engage with Sikh Creatives & Entertainers: Discover the inspiring stories of filmmakers, musicians, artists, and influencers who are changing the media landscape.
Participate in Workshops: Gain hands-on experience with creative tools, storytelling techniques, and media strategies that are empowering Sikh voices today.
Join Fireside Chats: Hear intimate conversations with influential figures in the Sikh community, discussing the importance of cultural preservation and the role of storytelling in breaking stereotypes.
Enjoy Live Performances: Experience the electrifying performance of a Sikh rock band and other dynamic artists blending traditional and contemporary styles.
Get Involved in the Digital Storytelling Project: Bring your old family photos to be digitized and preserve your Sikh story for future generations, or step into our oral story booths to share your experiences and memories.
Experience Curated Art Exhibitions: Experience visual art from Sikh artists that brings to life the diverse stories and perspectives of our community.
This Event is For You If:
You’re passionate about storytelling, media, and art and want to explore how these forms are helping reshape the narrative for Sikhs in America.
You’re a creative professional, artist, entertainer, or business leader looking to network, collaborate, and amplify your voice within the Sikh community.
You want to connect with like-minded individuals and build meaningful relationships that inspire change and creativity.
