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.
