Beauty, truth and kindness — shared through culture.
Founded in Sheffield in 2016, Sunrit Culture brings South Asian heritage into modern community life through inclusive performance, learning and celebration.
Creating culturally connected communities
Sunrit Culture was founded by Charu Asthana to make South Asian traditions approachable, participatory and meaningful for people across backgrounds. Our programmes span dance, music, creative arts, cultural lifestyle learning and large community events.
Rather than treating heritage as something static, we create live spaces where people can learn, perform, ask questions, meet one another and build shared memories.
Our guiding principles
Welcoming families, learners, artists, volunteers and audiences from different communities.
Connecting traditional knowledge and artistic practice with contemporary community life.
Workshops, classes, demonstrations and experiences that invite active participation.
Using shared celebrations to create understanding, confidence and belonging.
