The word "Desi" refers to people of Subcontinental background, but as a lingo, it represents the 2nd and 3rd generation of British Asians. Desi Fest provides a platform for British Asian celebration, embracing both contemporary and traditional expressions, showcasing community heritage, and conveying contemporary narratives while looking towards the future.
