Transnational fiesta, 1992

The film documents the multicultural and transnational experiences of Quispes, a family of Peruvian Andean immigrants living in Washington D.C., who return to their hometown, Cabanaconde, to sponsor the annual patron saint fiesta. The North American members of this extended family, as well as other migrants from the community living in Washington, also participate in the Virgin of Carmen celebration, where the complexities of cultural production, religious syncretism, inter-ethnic marriages, migration, and racism all converge. The story follows the migrants back to their "new world" (Washington D.C.) where they constantly "discover" and reinvent their plural identities (Cabaneńo, Andean, Peruvian, Latino, and American) in their daily lives as nannies, janitors, college students, and other occupations, and in the special events sponsored by the 300 plus members of the Cabanaconde City Association.

  • "Raconte les expériences multiculturelles et transnationales des Quispes, une famille d'immigrants péruviens qui vit à Washington, D.C. et retourne dans sa ville natale, Cabanaconde, pour la fête annuelle de la Vierge de Carmen. Cette fête culturellement complexe met en évidence les problèmes posés par le syncrétisme religieux, les mariages interethniques, l'émigration et le racisme. Le film suit ensuite les émigrants de retour à Washington où, à travers leur vie quotidienne, ils doivent sans cesse redécouvrir et réinventer leur multiples identités."

  • "Each July, a festival honoring the Virgin of Carmen takes place in Cabanaconde, a peasant community in the southern Peruvian Andes. During the festival, the population doubles as former villagers living in far-flung lands return to their mountain home. Cabanaconde's joyous fiesta forms the centerpiece of this video that examines the multicultural and transnational experiences of Peruvian immigrants living in Washington D.C. In 1991, Teodocio and Julia Quispe, an elderly couple who live in the nation's capital, agreed to sponsor the costly five-day celebration and share expenses with their seven children. The Quispes discuss the significance of the annual event, particularly the prestige and spiritual solace it confers upon the sponsors. Family members are filmed in traditional dress, dancing in the village plaza and observing the syncretic rituals that mesh elements of Christianity with indigenous Inca beliefs. In the U.S., the Quispes and their relatives maintain ties with other Peruvian immigrants while living an American lifestyle. Although the U.S. provides the Peruvians with employment and educational opportunities denied them because of racism and strife in their troubled homeland, the immigrants rue America's materialism and lack of family cohesiveness."
