mignolo
was born in 2017 with the first performance by mignolo dance in upstate New York. Since then, the company has opened an arts center in Metuchen, New Jersey, founded an interdisciplinary publication, and built an international presence. From dance to music to visual art to theater and everything in between, mignolo is a platform by artists for artists. We are dedicated to sustainable practices that support creative people and foster robust and inclusive artistic communities. We hope you’ll get to know us by joining us at our next event, following us on social media, and proposing ideas for collaboration.
