UniDIversity Festival makes a conscious attempt to acknowledge the uniqueness
and realness of Hispanic/Latino peoples and cultures. UniDIversity Festival is an opportunity
to educate the audience and avoid the perpetuation of stereotypes; every year we try to offer
various facets of the peoples and cultures in question to promote discussion against easy
and superficial classifications that portray groups as simple hybrids; or compartmentalize
them with the use of geographic delimitations, demographic labels, race classifications,
or linguistic divisions.
Without disregarding these important and real differences, we
want to take the attendees beyond, so they enjoy and become aware of the cultural richness
and realness of this group of people whose lives develop in the Americas; whose mother
tongue might be one of the different dialects of Spanish, Portuguese, or any of the
ancient native languages, or even English; whose race might evidently adjust to our
preconceived ideas of what they “should” look like, or on the contrary, their looks
might only challenge this preconception and help us understand that there are many
more gates to be open than unknown, foreign realities behind closed doors.
