content: Members of Kitchwa Hitari ;Kichwa Hatari is collective of New York-based Quechua/Kichwa artists, activists, and educators. It's also a weekly radio program—the first in the Andean indigenous Kichwa language in the United States—aimed at reaching the Quechua/Kichwa population in its own language. During the Festival, Kichwa Hatari documents performances and participants, offers Quechua classes, and dialogues with the public around issues of culture, language, and communication.
