The diversity of Peru
Print Edition
PERU’S artists, cultures and famous foods are being featured in the Smithsonian Folklife Festival this year on the National Mall as the South American nation aims to boost tourism and cultural exchange.
More than 150 artists and participants traveled from Peru to stage the festival opening Wednesday near the US Capitol. This year’s event focuses exclusively on Peru, while past festivals have featured multiple countries.
The Smithsonian-produced festival has drawn a million visitors in the past but is much smaller this year, taking up less space on the grassy mall while much of the park’s turf is being restored. Part of the Peruvian showcase will be staged inside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, which will also host a new exhibition on the Inca trail. The festival runs June 24-28 and July 1-5.
Peru is one of the world’s most ecologically and culturally diverse countries, according to curators. Peru’s connections to nature and 12 communities are explored.
