On 25th June 2025 at 10 am, head over to Bonington Gallery for the grand finale of CADALFEST, a festival dedicated to Adivasi and Dalit arts and literature. It's our third round after two brilliant editions in the UK and India, so you know it's going to be a good time. Think of it as a cultural buffet with a two-day feast of films, engaging discussions, hands-on workshops, and masterclasses.

Expect to rub shoulders with some brilliant minds, including filmmaker Jayan K. Cherian and talented writers and poets like Gogu Shyamala and Jitendra Vasava. And yes, there's more—Gopika Jadeja, Priteegandha Naik, and the ever-intriguing Jangama Collective will also be in attendance. By the way, this year marks a whole decade since the Dalit and Adivasi literature network made its debut at Nottingham Trent University, so there's plenty of reason to celebrate. The festival is brought to you by the Dalit and Adivasi literature network, with some help from Nottingham Trent University's Postcolonial and Global Studies group and the EMMA research centre in France. The full schedule is waiting to be explored, so don't just sit there—get informed.
