Our Mission

Whether you are a budding or established poet, a spoken word artist or an aspiring short story writer, we are here to provide a unique arts platform to publish and promote your creative works.

DESIblitz Arts has been created to develop a community of like-minded people who are in need of support to get recognition.

We are keen to showcase any work which has a British Asian connection to South Asia.

"This particular event opens up the discourse in bringing no judgements within spoken poetry and expression of your soul. We all have Identity and it needs to be normalised for all to be themselves. I am excited to be part of an event that helps push forward this idea."
