Sep 19, 2025 7:00 PM | Organization: Arts & Lectures, School of Arts Get your ticket here! Mestizaje: Interwoven Identities between Mexico, Philippines and Spain Join us for a riveting 90-minute dance performance and conversation with the artists that delve deep into the heart of cultural convergence, narrating a story of unity, diversity and shared history through the universal language of dance. This captivating spectacle is an homage to the intricate tapestry of identities that emerged from nearly four centuries of Spanish colonization, weaving together the distinct but interconnected cultures of Mexico, the Philippines and Spain. At the core of "Mestizaje" is the celebration of mestizaje itself—a term that historically signifies the process of cultural and racial mixing between Indigenous peoples of the Americas and Europeans. This performance, however, expands the concept to encapsulate the rich exchange among the three regions, highlighting how each culture has been indelibly shaped by the others.
