memories into connection

stories into community.

This isn’t just a festival - it’s a space for stories. A place where Malayalis from across the world come together to share who they are, where they’ve been, and what they carry with them. Some are well-known voices, others are quietly powerful- but every story adds to a shared sense of identity and belonging.

As the UAE invites communities to stand together, Kerala Chronicles creates that sense of togetherness through stories - linking the global Malayali community with each other, and with the world around them.
