Khushi Festival “a festival of happiness”, an annual arts event led by South Asian women to celebrate, show case and develop South Asian community groups, audiences, artists and participants. The concept of Khushi came from the Women’s CHAI Project in 2017 where the chai ladies wanted to celebrate south Asian arts and heritage. This began a fantastic collaboration and journey.

Khushi brings together the strengths of three key partners; CHAI for co-design, participation and curation; Oldham Coliseum for Production and project management support and OMBC for logistical and planning support.
