Alandalus Festival

The Festival is a week of multidisciplinary events dedicated to the interaction of cultures in the city of New York, mirroring the Al-Andalus times in Spain when different cultures and religions lived together for centuries.

The Alandalus Festival brings to New York the multiculturalism of Iberian Peninsula’s history for a week. It celebrates the richness of Spanish culture and shows how different ethnicities live together in New York City.

The Festival draws on the participation of professionals from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds who focus their work on investigating a common language. In its first edition, the Festival brings scholars and artists from Spain, the USA, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Greece, Canada, Cuba and México.
