​​Since 2017, the Shipibo Conibo Center hosts every year the minga, an event parallel to the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, UNPFII.

​

Indigenous leaders, artist, and activist have come together for an evening of art, music, food and conversation centered around the struggle for Indigenous autonomy.

​

Over the various editions, the event featured screenings and performances by numerous Indigenous artists, activists, and collectives, including:

​

Guardia Indigena Shipibo

New Red Order

Black Gotham 

Save Harlem Now

Dioganhdih

Donna Couteau & Joe Cross (Leaf Arrow)

Maria Humpfield and Coco Cafe with the Indigenous Womens Collective NYC

​Ñani Migrante Transnational project

In 2024 the event included a Parallel Walk, in collaboration with Creative Time.
