Through our festivals, media, and programming, we create experiences that amplify and unite diasporic Panjabi voices.
We put on an annual festival called 5X Fest, provide development and performance opportunities to emerging Panjabi artists, and connect businesses & brands with Panjabis in Metro Vancouver.
Our organization is at the forefront of championing the burgeoning Panjabi music & art scene, and we advocate for the impact it’s created in our country.
We create unique digital content and tell powerful stories that are relevant to diasporic Panjabis.
We understand the nuances of being a diasporic Panjabi in an increasingly globalized world. We prioritize this identity by using music and art as the vessel to create environments that bring meaning to this identity.
