Statement from Prashant Nayak, Executive Director
Our vision and aim is to become the premier, dynamic development agency that stimulates and supports excellence in the practice and promotion of South Asian arts in Britain.
The trust aims to bring together people of all communities and create fresh cultural collaborations that transcend the barriers of language, race, religion and diverse cultural traditions.
In the exciting task of building today's multicultural Great Britain, Milapfest's small but committed endeavour is to try and unite the hearts and minds of all of our people, through an exhilarating celebration of arts and culture.
