Afro-Peruvian Gastronomic Knowledge & Practices , Mg. Angie Edell Campos - Peru
Through gastronomy, social researchers, activist, and PhD candidate Angie Edell Campos, will take participants in a journey through the construction of Afro-Peruvian identity and culture. We will learn about dishes that are national flags and are part of massive celebrations as well as dishes that have been passed from generation to generation and today are intangible heritage of the Afro-Peruvian culture.
The Afro-descendant presence in Peru dates back to the arrival of the Spaniards and the foundation of the Colony during the first half of the 14th century. As a result, today we find a fusion of elements adopted from the different African cultures from which the enslaved subjects came, in addition to the expressions of enslaved and free Africans and Afro descendants that came from Spain and the Spaniards themselves, together with local cultural elements.
