Meet The 2025 Artists

At this years Mela we introduced some new elementsIncluding a fantastic BAZAAR where people could buy clothes, food, perfumes etc.

We also looked at how South Asian creative practitioners are doing in the city. Producing a document that traces the creative journey of some of them and we enabled them to display there work in a breakout space at the festival called THE VILLAGE. We are hoping that this will be the beginning of development work to support people that take the plunge into a creative career.

There was also more of an emphasis on our green credentials to align with our new policy document. We also wanted to show global effects so we created a site map that also explained how the impact of our environmental choices here in Preston impacts on our friends & family in South Asia.
