El Kiosko de los Cariñitos (Kiosk of Caresses) is a meeting point for people and cultures. A welcoming space to stay, exchange, and explore. It is a friendly and generous kiosk that has taken on the role of master of ceremonies and host. With each appearance, it teams up with different collectives, artists, DJs, and/or chefs to create a transcultural space of warmth, conviviality, and exchange. Through shared meals, conversations, music, and dance, the kiosk becomes a place where different experiences, stories, and traditions can meet and intertwine.

It pays close attention to detail and is guided by a desire to make each person feel welcomed, cared for, and special. It carries the culinary culture of my homeland, Peru, while creating cultural fusions that offer new experiences to its guests, awaken cherished childhood memories, and provide caresses for the senses.

Kiosk Sessions is a series of events hosted by El Kiosko de los Cariñitos, in which the kiosk becomes a stage for different DJs and live musicians playing a varied selection of music from around the world. The sessions create spaces for cultural exchange, while also offering a gathering place for diasporic communities. Here, dance and celebration become acts of connection, cultural affirmation, and resistance. A way of creating space for belonging, joy, and collective expression.
