“For a long time stereotypical representation of South Asians a.k.a Desis in popular culture has propagated prejudice.
Desicember is dedicated to providing a platform for young adults to contribute to the dialogue that artists like Kumail Nanjiani, Hari Kondabolu, Mindy Kailing, Hasan Minhaj, among others, have started; to be inspired and encouraged to rethink, reshape and rewrite rigid perceptions;
to uplift the American Desi community; and to end the year on a spirited note.”

Identity inspired by hand-painted typography that is characteristic of South-Asian signage and plays with its inherent two-dimensional three-dimensionality (flat/planar three-dimensionality) to allude to the dimensionality of desis in film and television.
