DE INGA Y MANDINGA: A Tale from Latin America, is a multimedia, multidisciplinary, multilingual, and intergenerational performance that celebrates cultural and ethnic diversity in Latin America. “Inga” is a Castilianization of the word “inca,” a reference to Peruvian indigenous peoples. “Mandinga” refers to the enslaved West African peoples brought forcibly to the Americas during the colonial period. De Inga y Mandinga (roughly “of Indigenous and African heritage”), is a colloquial phrase used broadly in Latin America to point at their mixed blood and rich cultural heritage. Seattle based performing artist Monica Rojas converted this phrase into a brand name and artistic platform to explore different points of old and new cultural connections born of a history of colonialism, migration and cultural influences.
