This free performance, discussion, and film premiere unveils the ongoing De Inga y Mandinga project, created under the artistic direction of "performance artivist" and African diaspora scholar Monica Rojas-Stewart. De Inga y Mandinga, which roughly translates to “of Indigenous and African heritage," envisions a multidisciplinary, bilingual theater experience that celebrates the diversity of Latin America while acknowledging its legacy of colonialism, migration, and blended cultures. Core artists featured in this production include the De Cajón Project music group, Milvia Pacheco, Lian Caspi, Reynaldo Ruiz, guest artists Antonio Gomez and Gus Denhard, and a youth ensemble.
