Saturday is the beating heart of Hay Festival Dallas: a full day of landmark conversations across Bishop Arts.

At Protected content , the afternoon begins with Suraj Yengde, one of India’s most important Dalit intellectuals, in dialogue with Miriam Fauzia, examining caste as a global structure of oppression and resistance. Later, anthropologist Jason De León, winner of the Protected content Book Award for Soldiers and Kings, joins journalist John Gibler to discuss seven years of immersive research with “coyotes,” dismantling stereotypes around migration and survival.

The day also features an electrifying performance-conversation by Bocafloja, the legendary Mexican hip-hop artist and poet whose work dismantles colonial narratives with rhythm and word.

And when the panels end, the night explodes: AfroPerreo returns for a one-night-only reunion, with DJs Elkin and El Nick turning Protected content into a dance floor of resistance, rhythm, and joy.
Saturday is literature, politics, music, and nightlife all in one—an unmissable day that defines what Hay Festival Dallas is about.
