The 2014 edition of Indian Summer was our most ambitious yet. The festival expanded significantly in scope, showcasing the art and thought of South Asia, Iran, China, and the Haida Nation. It also extended its presence across Vancouver, activating seven outstanding venues throughout the city.

Once again, Indian Summer was the place where worlds meet. For ten days, the festival transformed Vancouver into a hub for literature and music, entrepreneurship and geopolitics, art and ideas.

It was also our most successful year to date—with record-breaking attendance, increased media coverage, and artistic collaborations of exceptional calibre. Together, we explored diverse perspectives, seeking to better understand the world as it is—and imagine how it might be, if we shaped it together.
